About Chess Courses by RCS

It sells targeted training programs, each built around one skill, and its listing gives breaking a 1000 rating, endgame technique, stopping blunders and strategy as examples.[1] The listing frames the courses as a fix for players who feel stuck after buying opening courses and playing bullet games, or who blunder often.[1] Each course includes progress tracking with metrics and milestones, courses can be picked to fit a member's schedule, and access is lifetime.[1]

The linked YouTube channel is run by a Woman Chess Grandmaster and promotes the Russian Chess School, which also has Facebook and Instagram pages under that name.[2]
