What is ChessMood?
ChessMood is an online chess academy founded by GM Avetik Grigoryan with a focus on structured, mindset-oriented improvement. The platform offers a library of video courses covering openings (the ChessMood repertoire), middlegame strategy, endgames, and the mental side of chess. Content is organized into a recommended learning path rather than an ad-hoc course marketplace.
Beyond courses, ChessMood maintains an active blog with detailed articles on chess improvement, and a podcast featuring interviews with titled players. The community aspect is strong — members have access to a Discord community, group lessons, and a regular schedule of webinars.
ChessMood operates on a membership model; a free tier provides access to select content. The full library requires a paid subscription. It is aimed primarily at club players in the 1000–2200 range looking for a coached, systematic approach to improvement.
