Dear Friends,

We hope you enjoyed the camp with GM Ivan Sokolov. The file with the games he used during the training sessions will be soon made available on Chesstempo to all yearly members who took part in the camp.

Tomorrow marks the start of our Christmas Camp with GM Ivan Sokolov. He will begin the first session at 5 PM UK time. There will be three 1h sessions with 15 mins break in-between, every day until the 30th of December. The camp will offer you a full 12 hours of training.

We will have an in-person camp in 2026. The camp will take place in the 4* resort Zoraida Garden in Roquetas de Mar, Spain, between the 17th and the 24th of May. Your trainers will be GM Jacob Aagaard, GM Renier Castellanos and GM Julen Arizmendi. GM and former Women’s World Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk will be our special guest this edition. She will give a masterclass, a simul and play friendly blitz games with participants.

Check the archive section of our website to get an idea about how the camp was structured last year. In the gallery section you can find some photos from the event.

Finally, thank you for being part of the Killer Chess Training family for another year. May 2026 bring you inspired moves at the board, all the norms you’re chasing and the titles you’ve been working so hard for.

Happy New Year!

Your friends from Killer Chess Training

Thank you for a great camp Jacob!

In terms of the Spain camp in May with the dates being 17th - 24th May, my travel agent was asking if 17th is just an arrival day in terms of the flights? Also the last day 24th May - is this the day of the simul and people leaving later on? Thanks Glyn

Hi Glyn! 17th and 24th are arrival and departure days; there will be no activities then. If anyone else is wondering about this, the approximate schedule can be found on the website, here.
