My name is Gabriel Schwartzman, I am an International Chess Grandmaster, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to my Chess Instruction and Training site!

If you would like to improve your chess tactics, hone your chess strategy, discover some new chess tips, solve a whole lot of chess puzzles, or just enjoy chess lessons, well then you have come the right place!

This site was founded in 1996 with the creation of the Internet Chess Academy, the world's first interactive chess instruction center. Its purpose is very simple: help those who are looking for chess strategies, chess tips, tactics, and overall improvement in their playing skills. Remember, chess is ultimately a strategy game so training does help! Every chess lesson you will see here as a member should be able to contribute at least a little bit to your game.
