Dear Friends,
The Summer Homework Club has officially started! Since this morning, you can find the first set of exercises posted on its dedicated page. It is a killer homework and you have until Sunday at midnight wherever you are to solve and submit your answers. On Monday, Renier will mark them and send you feedback.
On Monday morning you will find the next homework on the summer homework page. It will be a friendly homework. For all friendly homeworks, you will have until midnight on the corresponding day to solve and submit your answers.
The video with solutions will be uploaded on the following day.
Coming up this summer on Killer Chess Training: camp with GM Jacob Aagaard between he 14th and 18th of July. It will be on Tal and will also include a week of special homework inspired from Tal’s games. This camp will be free for all members of the academy.
In August we will have a camp with GM Sabino Brunello, between the 25th and 29th of August. The theme will be Closed Positions. Sabino will give 2.5 hours of lectures split in three 50 minutes sessions every day. 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!

Hi Raluca- sorry for the questions…
Is there a special email to submit for the summer homework? Or just killer homework … or friendly homework ….? Thanks?
And is Jacob’s July camp online?

Hi Robert, it’s the usual homework email addresses, yes. So, the killer one for Killer Homework and the friendly one for Friendly Homework.
And Jacob’s camp is online, yes. I’ve updated his schedule in the Google calendar already and will also add it in the schedule on the website today or tomorrow.

Hi Raluca, I also have a clarifying question-
I reside in USA. Rules for homework is that the submission is due at midnight. I assume that means midnight London time (GMT+1)?
So for example, for something labelled “Tuesday Homework 01/07/2025”, that is due at midnight GMT+1 on that same day Tuesday?
Hi Johnny, it’s midnight wherever you are. I thought I put the whole sentence on the hwk page, but I now realized it was only in the newsletter, sorry about that. I have updated the website as well.
So, in your case, for the Tuesday Homework 01/07/2025 the deadline is Tuesday midnight in your own time-zone.

Which means: if You don’t have enough time - just travel West for an extra hour or more

Took me a while to realize that the video is from 2021, and it was only thanks to Jacob’s haircut that it finally dawned on me 
Are we going to get the solution scores for the 2025 summer club?

Yes! The videos with solutions are from 2021
And we are making the stats as well, yes. Today Renier will finish marking the last homeworks for 30th of June and we will have the final stats.
You could still be solving while in transit!

Hi Jonathan, yes. It was a day too early before. New homeworks will be uploaded the night before, except for the Killer homeworks, which will be uploaded on Thursday nights (from the summer hwk page).
Haha - so you fixed the mistake we all wanted !!

Yeah, I thought it would be nice to have it earlier, but then it became too messy for Renier when he had 3 different homeworks in the inbox at the same time. So, we’ll keep the initial schedule

Not easy to understand which homework is for which date. Anyway I am going to work on the homework 48 today as it is the latest.
When you download the homework, you need to click a button. The button has a date, right? The last one says Homework 03/07/2025. That is the date of the summer homework. And you have until midnight of 3rd of July to submit your answers.
Sorry to ask, but it is not clear to me what is the deadline for Killer Homework during summer (Monday homework).
Is that midnight Sunday to Monday night or midnight Monday to Tuesday night?
Actually, I have the same question for the other homeworks. For Tuesday homework is it midnight Monday to Tuesday night or midnight Tuesday to Wednesday night?
Thanks, Luc
Really confused here :D. As I understand the homework is published say on Monday and You have time till Monday 23:59
Its Monday 23:59. For all homeworks it’s 23:59 on the corresponding date.
No, the homework for Monday is NOT published on Monday. It is published on Thursday, exactly as it is announced on the website. For the rest of the homeworks, they are published the night before (I’ve been publishing them around 8 PM CET so far).
So, the homework for Tuesday is published on Monday night. You have until Tuesday at 23:59 in your own time zone to submit.
