Learn from Vishy Anand's Masterclass

FunMasterMike is great. But despite what my mom says, I'm not as good as Vishy. That's why ChessKid is pleased to announce that the 5-time world chess champion Viswanathan Anand has recorded a lengthy series of videos exclusively for ChessKid!

This "Vishy Masterclass" begins today with an in-depth look at "The Power of the Two Bishops." Over the course of the next several weeks, ChessKid will be releasing a set of about 20 more videos from Vishy, the ChessKid Chief Mentor of India

So an FM, an IM, a GM, and a CEO walk into a room. And we all lose to Vishy! But we gain from his decades of chess wisdom and dominance.

These Vishy videos (Visheos?) will often take some of FunMasterMike's basic concepts and explanations and expand upon them much further. Vishy will often show his own games, and guide you through his thinking. He will also reveal some of the lessons that made him India's first grandmaster.

Perhaps best of all, in some of the videos Vishy will reveal some games from his childhood that have never been seen before!

While beginners can benefit, the videos are really informative for intermediate and advanced ChessKids. ChessKid will be releasing them regularly in the next few weeks, and you can be sure to never miss one by checking our full videos list regularly, or bookmark this page dedicated to all of Vishy's Masterclass!
