In chess, we always need to keep an eye on the latest developments. It simply won’t do to allow oneself to fall behind when everyone else is keeping up to date.
Today, however, we are not going to examine the latest developments in the sharpest lines of the Najdorf Sicilian. This time we are going to go inward, to find out what has been happening behind the scenes as we find out the answer to the question: what’s new at Chessable?
We present information from the inside, covering all the latest developments regarding both the web and mobile platforms.
Your help is required for the next set of developments, so please head to our portals to have your say, using the links given below.
