Lisbon
Lisbon has become one of Europe's favorite digital nomad destinations, and for good reason. The light is extraordinary, the coffee is honest, and the pace lets you think.
We're planning sessions in the city's cafe culture: LX Factory, Mouraria, the Bairro Alto spots where travelers and locals mix. Chess in Lisbon feels like it belongs.
Remote lessons are available now. Lisbon in-person dates will be announced on Instagram and via our contact form.

The biggest mistake adult beginners make (I have seen it in 21 cities)
After coaching in cafés from Medellín to Dharamkot, the same mistake shows up: information overload disguised as progress. Here is what to do instead.
Chess apps are great for tactics. They are terrible at teaching you how to think.
