Hey, Im Avetik International Grandmaster, founder, and chief dreamer of ChessMood
Over the past 7 years, together with my beloved team, weve built one of the leading chess platforms in the world a home to hundreds of thousands of chess lovers.
They go through our 500+ hours of Grandmaster-crafted courses, solve thousands of handpicked puzzles, interact with our Grandmasters and community and reach their goals.
From beating their dads for the first time To crossing the 2,000 rating barrier To earning titles Masters, and even Grandmasters.
We built something that, if you scroll through ChessMoods pages, youll see lots of reviews like this.
I am hitting myself because I still cant believe I havent found ChessMood earlier. Its all l am looking for a few years already. - Johan Verduyckt, USA
But that was just Part 1 of my dream. DONE. We mark it DONE and move to
It wont just tell you what to do or recommend random books and courses to buy.
Itll guide you using the material Yes! The very same content weve already built over the past 7 years.
ChessMood will be an all in one platform!
In addition to our vibrant community and live training with Grandmasters, there will also be a super smart AI coach. Trained by Grandmasters and top coaches, with access to the best courses, training exercises, and tools itll guide each student through their journey in the most effective and fun way possible.
The student gives us their games (just an online nickname is enough), answers a few quick questions like age, available time, and goals and then Coach Charlie does the magic.
What youll build
He analyzes your games. He goes through your games spots the blunders, missed tactics, positional leaks, time management
He finds your strengths and weaknesses. Where you shine. Where you slip. Where your biggest growth potential lies.
He builds a deeply personalized study plan. No vague advice. No Go buy this book and that course. Charlie uses the content weve already built and breaks it all down into daily actions. Watch this exact chapter. Then that one. Now solve these 10 puzzles. Play 6 games
He holds your hand and guides the entire journey. Good session! Now lets analyze your games. Here are the key mistakes. Tomorrow we study Sicilian Defense)
He talks to you. He answers your questions. Explains things in human language. Makes jokes. Keeps you motivated. He does everything a great coach would do just always available, always focused on you.
I know it sounds crazy. I know there will be people who say its impossible.
But they were there, too, when I was building ChessMood.
Now? Thousands of chess lovers all over the world train and improve with us. And last year we crossed $1 million in annual revenue.
So yeah well build the AI Coach. No matter how crazy it sounds.
Its not a question of if. Just when.
We know itll take time. Well build Charlie version by version but the end vision is crystal clear.
Im looking for someone who believes in this. Who sits next to me, and together we build it with speed and joy.
Someone who enjoys the ride, not just the result.
Day 1, youll work with me directly. Start building the magic and bring the right squad onto the team.
If you want to be Head of AI someday great. But right now, Im looking for a builder. Not a manager. Not a theorist. A sharp mind with heart.
