Illingworth Chess Academy Membership - Library

Get Instant Access To Hundreds Of Hours Of World-Class, On-Demand Training With GM Max Illingworth

I'm curious...

Do you feel lost in the sea of chess information, not knowing where to start?

With the Illingworth Chess Academy Membership, you have access to all the resources you need to move up to the next rating level (breaking 1000 for the first time, making the jump to a higher chess title, and everything in between). 

Do you try a bit from this guy, a bit from that guy, only to find you're more confused than when you started?

A key aspect of learning as effectively as possible is to get feedback on what you're doing.

I cater to that by providing plenty of thematic puzzles in the Illingworth Chess Academy Library, with feedback on the solution.

And if you need help on something? You can reach out to Max and the rest of our community at any time in an exclusive, private server. 

Are you frustrated by how slowly your rating seems to be going up (if at all)? 

You're not alone - the competition is getting better, and you can't expect to improve rapidly anymore just by solving tactics puzzles or going through one course. 

If you want to improve at a rate that makes you feel good about your progress, you're going to need the best training resources.

I'm a Chess Grandmaster and former Australian Chess Champion (2014, 2018, and 2017 Australian Open winner). I started helping people with their chess at nine years old and began coaching chess professionally in 2012, helping numerous juniors win Australian Junior Chess Championship titles (the most notable examples being FM Sterling Bayaca and IM Cameron McGowan). 

In 2019, I retired from competitive playing to focus on helping passionate chess players like you enjoy the process of chess improvement and feel like you're actually getting somewhere with your play and results, rather than wasting your time on methods that aren't working.
