The ChessAlive Team
The players behind our free chess guides — three friends who learned the game the hard way and want to make it easier for you.
Every guide on ChessAlive is written and maintained by our team. We are not grandmasters; we are improving club-level players who remember exactly how confusing chess felt at the start. That is the perspective we bring to each article: plain language, concrete examples you can replay, and the handful of ideas that actually move your rating. Each of us focuses on the areas we enjoy most.
