Free chess coaching for anyone between the range of 100-2000 elo!
Bridging the Plateaus
We're focused on providing free chess coaching for anyone who wishes to improve their skills and are at any skill level below 2000 elo. Since it's harder to coach above 2000 elo, we are still working on a system. However, there's no restrictions; if you're above this level, you can still join!

I joined Project ChessBridge while in a plateau looking for coaching and advice. The community is filled with people who actually engage with your games and point out the things you're unable to see on you own. It's a big reason I improved to where I am now. If you're stuck and can't work out why, this is where I'd start.

I like Project ChessBridge not just for the information they have to offer, but the community and effort surrounding the server. As soon as I joined, I got out of that deadzone in my chess and was able to get to 800 rather quickly from 350. Project ChessBridge helps you view chess different as a whole.

Project ChessBridge has been a welcoming place and has been helpful for my chess. The tournaments were fun, and the coaching session I had really gave me new concepts to try. I’d definitely recommend joining this server!

This community is by far the best chess community I've ever been to, every member is friendly, approachable, and you can play with them anytime, i went from 400 elo from when I joined the server and now I'm so close in hitting 800. I'm very thankful that I found this server :).

Project ChessBridge is an amazing server, I was there when it all started. All the coaches and staff are kind and willing to help when asked. I have gained 300 elo since I joined the server, but I definitely couldn’t achieve that without the help of my fellow peers. Thanks a lot for having me on Project ChessBridge!
