Training Tuesday goes Premium

Our recent re-launch of Training Tuesday, now hosted by IM Andrei Ostrovski is going Premium! After 5 episodes of the new series, we're pleased to add the show to our list of exclusive benefits of Premium Membership. Learn something about "Master Ostrovski" and check out his first episodes of the series which focuses on chess improvement with an emphasis on studies.

The most recent episode we released on YouTube has been particularly well received:

Select any of the other episodes from the playlist icon in the upper left above.

According to one viewer:

IM Ostrovskiy provides many instructive tips that are useful in the kinds of position seen in the example game. I learned a great deal about what to consider in similar positions, and by extension, something about the kinds of mistakes I make in considering a move.

You can also find all episodes on our Shows page, if you search for "training", including the follow up "How I make chess decisions - Part 2" which aired live yesterday and is available on-demand.

Who is Master Ostrovski?

Modes of Ostrovski


Well, for starters he's a 26 year old International Master, with one Grandmaster norm, and a Master's degree in finance, still an active player, but now also a full-time chess coach, living in Germany.

Among the more interesting details on his biography is this list of "90% preferences":

  • Arctic Monkeys to Backstreet Boys
  • coffee to tea
  • Milton Friedman to Karl Marx
