The method
A program that respects your time.
No childish gamification. No empty promises. A clear path from first principles to competitive play, charted by instructors with decades of adult teaching.
Staged curriculum
Each class builds on the last.
Openings, middle game, endgame and strategy in modular blocks — no arbitrary jumps.
Guided analysis
Your own games are your best teacher.
Upload your games, your instructor breaks them down, you learn from your own mistakes — the fastest possible progress.
How it fits
Your calendar leads.
In-person and online classes at times that make sense for working adults: weeknight evenings, Saturday mornings, weekend intensives.
In-person
Branches in CDMX (Polanco, Roma) and Monterrey (San Pedro). Physical boards, instructor on-site, small groups.
Online
1-on-1 or small-group video sessions. Synced boards, between-class drills, never lose progress when you travel.
Open slots: Mon–Fri 6–10 PM · Sat 9 AM–2 PM
