The Dojo has single-handedly been the best thing to happen for my chess. I was stuck in the mid 700’s on chess.com and showing little improvement. However, in a short time, I managed to break the 1k club. None of this would have been possible without the Dojo’s program.

This program is really helping me treat chess with respect. Meaning that I approach each task with more reverence and more focus, which I am sure is leading to better results and a more consistent mindset.

After 1 year, I'm very happy about the program. I think it's very well designed with the emphasis on long games and analysis for long-term progress. The positive environment has motivated me to work regularly on my chess this year, and I could feel my progress.
