Dear Friends,
The camp with GM Jacob Aagaard will start next Monday, 14th of July. There will be 5 days of camp, with 2.5 hours of training every day. They will be split into 3 sessions of 50 minutes each. The camp is free for all members of the academy, monthly and yearly.
The Summer Homework club is still going on. During his camp, Jacob will create special homework sheets that you will be able to download and solve. It is very important that you submit your solutions before the deadline if you want your homework to be marked. The deadline is always midnight wherever you are on the corresponding homework date. Renier is still receiving submissions of last week’s homeworks or homeworks from 3 days ago.
In August, GM Sabino Brunello will have an online camp on Closed Positions. It will be between the 25th and 29th of August and will include 12.5 hours of classes. You can find more details about the camp here.
The camp will be free for all members who purchased a new yearly membership or renewed their old one after our last online camp in February. Everyone else who wants to attend Sabino’s camp will have to purchase it in our shop. Click here to buy your participation ticket or here to become a yearly member and receive this camp for free!
