Chess Roundup: January 17, 2026


This is our first round of the year, and 2026 is already off to a productive start at Chessable. Releases so far reflect one of Chessable’s specialties: openings for each type of player.

You’ll find courses at every depth, whether you want to keep it simple with a 100-line repertoire or top it off with a Lifetime Repertoire. Build a beginner-friendly setup that focuses on the most common paths at the lower levels, or dive into the main paths for serious tournament play.

Whatever your level, improvement works the same way for all of us: show up, work hard, and stay consistent.

We hope this new release gives you fresh inspiration — and helps you score points right from the open.

Here are the options:

by
GM Surya Shekhar Ganguly
