Monthly Chess Training System

Clear, Structured Progress Without Rushing

Every 30 days, a new Academy module unlocks, with each month focusing on a specific area of chess understanding. With that, you'll unlock a new month of Chess Tactics Mastery with 25 interactive puzzles per day that gradually increase in elo difficulty as the month goes on.

Here's what's included, every month.

🖥️ 10 complete opening training systems every month

🧠 Interactive apps that help you actually remember what you've learned

🎴 Opening flashcards and master games

🗺️ A practical roadmap that removes the guesswork from improvement

⏱️ Time-based progression to keep you focused and moving forward

🏘️ Community access to keep you engaged and accountable.

The goal is to build genuine chess understanding, not to cram hundreds of openings into your head.

We want to create a repertoire that suits you.

We want you to improve consistently, not to learn a few things then forget them a week later without any easy way to remember them (hint, cheat sheets help remind you).

But, most importantly, to actually enjoy the process along the way. Chess learning doesn't have to be tedious.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to be good at chess to use this?

    No. These are made for beginners and intermediates, but equally applicable for advanced players. If you’re under 2000 elo, they’re great for you. And if you’re 400-1600… they’re perfect!

    How do I get my guide(s) after purchase?

    Once you purchase your guide(s), you’ll receive instant access to the download on the order confirmation screen. You’ll also receive an email with information about your order and an additional link to download, which you can use at any time.

    Can I use this on mobile/tablet/paper? What format are they?

    Yes! All of our cheat sheets have been designed to work on any and every platform – mobile, tablet, desktop, and even paper! Digital versions are interactive and allow you to quickly click through to each section of the guide. All guides are given in a PDF format.

    What skill level are these guides for?

    Whatever your skill level, there’s a chess cheat sheet for you. We cover openings of all skill levels, from simple systems to advanced variations. While designed for those who are beginner/intermediate elo levels who haven’t studied extensively, you can easily use them for refreshers at higher elo levels.

    Do you offer refunds?

    Since these are digital downloads, we do not typically offer refunds – because you can download the file, ask for a refund, but you’ll still have access to the file! However, if you have any issues or want assistance, please contact us and we’ll make it right. You can email James personally at info@chesscheatsheets.com.

    Do you cover both White and Black openings?

    Yes, we have guides for every opening. Some are specialised for White, some for Black, but all guides have image perspectives for both Black and White, so you’re able to use them effectively no matter which side you’re playing!

    Will this work for my favourite opening?

    Probably – we cover all the major and minor openings. Chances are, if it’s a recognised chess opening, we’ve got a guide for it! If you’re unsure whether it will work for you, take our free quiz and we’ll recommend one.

    What payment methods do you accept?

    We accept credit/debit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay / Google Pay for a quick, secure checkout.

    Do you offer discounts?

    Yes! Check out our bundle deals to save when buying multiple guides. These are the best value products we have, sometimes getting you a discount of up to 90%!

    I’m having trouble with my download – what should I do?

    If you’re struggling to open or download the file, there’s no need to worry! Simply email James at info@chesscheatsheets.com and he’ll help you get things working.

    Is there a free sample I can try?

    Yes! If you’d like to try before you buy, we have a free chess opening quiz that will help you decide an opening then give you a free complementary cheat sheet for that opening. You can find that here:
