“I like that Daily Chess Musings provides educational chess information for everybody, regardless of skill level. My favorite episode of Master Chess Theater is Emory Tate’s Immortal Game. I also like the opportunities DCM provides for everybody who loves chess and wants to advance their game.”

“I really like listening to the history of chess. I usually can’t find these facts anywhere else. It’s also amazing how Chris Torres managed to bring everyone closer together during these hard times through chess.”

“I really enjoyed the 2020 Winter Break camp. The daily tournaments, activities and speakers were very interesting. I learned how to calculate lines and evaluate positions from Tatev Abrahamyan; she showed a game where she had a queen vs. three pieces, i.e., knights and bishops. She helped us evaluate the position as winning for the queen but in some cases the two knights and bishop are better. I also got a chance to play opponents with different kinds of skills. Being part of this club allows me to play with opponents rated 1100 or above who have unique skills such as the ability to attack the king, which is something I need to work on.”

“I very much enjoy the “Checking Time” and “Master Chess Theatre” lessons. They are very informative and intriguing to listen to. The background information given before the videos are very interesting and it helps me remember the themes and the people playing the games. I feel like I have improved significantly since attending your Winter Break Chess Camp because of the grandmaster lessons as well as your videos.” Hiram
“I really like the Daily Chess Musings chess club’s events and community. Three years ago, in my freshman year of high school, I joined the school’s chess club, which was a nice club that was going out of interest with less than 4 members. However, inspired by the Daily Chess Musings club, I helped to reignite the love for chess in my school to build up the club to more than 30 members by offering more tournaments and lesson/discussions. So, I think that the best thing about the Daily Chess Musings chess club are the events and opportunities available.”

“[It has] various types of chess classes for all age groups and teaching lots of kids and people. This is really encouraging to me and I have learned a lot of this from Mr. Chris Torres. Mr. Chris Torres is not only arranging free chess classes but also awarding many kids for their efforts and willingness to learn chess and improve further. I really appreciate Mr. Chris Torres’s efforts and time, thank you very much.”
