In today’s chess world, the challenge is no longer a lack of information — it is an overload of content without structure.
Modern Chess was created to solve this problem.
We provide structured, practical, and concept-driven chess education, guided by elite players and experienced teachers, for ambitious players who want to improve efficiently and sustainably.
Modern Chess is a digital chess education platform focused on understanding, decision-making, and long-term progress. Our courses are built around ideas, plans, pawn structures, and typical positions that arise in real games — not endless memorization of engine lines.
Over the years, Modern Chess has grown into a comprehensive learning ecosystem that includes:
In-depth opening repertoires for White and Black
Structured middlegame and endgame training
Guided practice with carefully selected test positions
Live lectures, thematic sessions, and interactive programs
Video content and downloadable PGN files for flexible study
All content is designed to be clear, structured, and immediately applicable, whether you prefer studying online or working offline.
Modern Chess was founded by Bulgarian grandmasters Grigor Grigorov and Petar Arnaudov, with the vision of creating a modern alternative to fragmented chess learning.
Today, Modern Chess collaborates with a large international team of world-class authors — grandmasters, international masters, and professional coaches — who share a common philosophy:
chess improvement comes from understanding, not memorization.
