Description
Dear chess lovers! I'm International Grandmaster Avetik Grigoryan (FIDE ELO 2568), coach with 10 year-experience, the founder of ChessMood and the head coach of our ChessMood PRO Members.
Recently I've created a big video course series about dominating from the very opening and I decided to provide it for FREE to the chess world!
I got lots of help on my journey of becoming a Grandmaster and now it's my turn to help you.
I just uploaded the 1st part of the video course and if you love it as our ChessMood community do, I'll upload other parts as well.
Now you'll not struggle from learning chess from untrustworthy sources but you will learn directly from Grandmasters!
I hope you'll enjoy the material that we've prepared many months with our ChessMood Grandmasters team and you'll start to dominate in your competition.
With best wishes,
International Grandmaster Avetik Grigoryan

GM Avetik Grigoryan
Grandmaster
I was 4.
My father came to me, bent down, looked deep into my eyes, gave me a toy gun (my first one), and told me, “You’re a big boy now; take care of our family.”
I didn’t see him for two years. He left for the war.
I was six when he returned. (I didn’t recognize him initially due to his beard)
He was surprised to see I knew how to play chess. My Grandma had taught me.
Long story short, he took me to a chess school. I got badly beaten in my first game, got angry, and started to train… Long story even shorter, I became a Grandmaster at 19. Then crossed 2,600. Then got very close to breaking into the top 100 players in the world.
But then…
I fell in love. Not with a person. I fell in love with chess coaching.
I began assisting and instructing other passionate chess players.
When I turned 25, I made it official — I retired from competitive chess and started to devote my energy and all the knowledge I’d gathered over the years, to my students, my champions, and future champions.
Over the last 13 years, I’ve trained national teams, Grandmasters and helped dozens of students to achieve their dream titles.
At 28, I got angry about what was happening in the online chess world, with all the crappy courses that were sold with nice marketing words.
I returned from a dreamland - Thailand and started my chess company - ChessMood.
In 6 years, we’ve created over 400 hours of courses!
We covered all topics, from openings and middlegames to endgames. For beginners, intermediate, and advanced players.
As I write this, we have over 2,000 students who learn at ChessMood.
Never heard about ChessMood?
That’s on me… :(
Once, I received a message from a ChessMood student.
“Avetik, you owe me $10,000. I’ll sue you.”
Luckily it was a humor, and I got it after reading the continuation.
“This is how much I’ve spent last year on 1-1 coaching and course purchases. I didn't raise my rating a single point.
Since joining ChessMood, I’ve raised 300 rating points and become a FIDE Master. You owe me ten grand.”
Yeah… I suck at marketing. (and hate it at the same time)
That’s why you’ve never heard of ChessMood or me. My bad.
(If you’re a passionate marketer who loves chess, please get in touch! :)
However, I decided to follow the advice of our investors, and make my courses available on Udemy as well, with the aim of reaching a wider audience.
So, I’m very glad you’re reading this :)
I hope you’ll enjoy the courses I’ve crafted. My wish is that they help you elevate your game, boost your rating, and achieve your chess goals.
I’m looking forward to seeing you inside the courses.
With best wishes and love,
International Chess Grandmaster Avetik Grigoryan
Or just Avo, as my friends call me.

I have the Tactic Ninja on a desktop. I would like it also on a recently purchased slate computer, or my Android phone. It would be great if this were allowed. It is not always convenient on my desktop.
Very detailed, great value.
