Chess King Training is a digital chess course and training software store, featuring products such as Chess King Learn, Chess King University, CT-ART, Chess King Analysis, Chess Assistant, and ChessOK Aquarium. It is positioned not as a live-class platform, but as a self-study training system built around interactive problem sets, structured courses, downloadable videos, and desktop/mobile software.
The courses cover tactics, endgames, openings, strategy, positional understanding, school chess lessons, and more. Chess King University offers 7 learning paths and 44 courses, claiming to train users progressively from absolute beginner to strong player level. Chess King Learn Maximum 130+ includes 130+ courses, over 200,000 exercises, and the University series. The platform supports Web, Mac, PC, iOS, and Android, with some mobile content available offline and progress sync supported. Video courses are downloadable MP4 files, making them suitable for learners who do not want to rely on a dedicated player.
The overall model is based on one-time purchases and activation codes. The University Pack starts from $118.99 after discount, Maximum 130+ starts from $212.49, and upgrades for existing users to Maximum 130+ start from $120. Individual video packs and software products vary in price, either lower or higher. The pages state that some licenses are “forever/100 years,” and users can choose 1, 2, or 3 activation codes, making them suitable for families or multiple students. Payment methods include Venmo, PayPal, and credit cards.
The advantages are the large course volume, complete structure, coverage from beginner to advanced levels, and interactive exercises that are more suitable for improving chess strength than videos alone. Multi-platform support also reduces limitations on where and how users can study. In terms of institutional background, the site mentions the Chess King/ChessOK/Convekta ecosystem, participation by grandmasters, and an association with Women’s World Chess Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk, giving it relatively strong professional credibility. The drawbacks are that the official site contains very dense information, with promotions, products, and years mixed together, making it easy for new users to be unsure which package to buy. There is no clear mention of formal certificates or accreditation. Refunds for digital products appear more likely only when the product has not been activated and does not work, while promotional items are also marked as non-refundable. Chinese is not clearly listed among the supported languages.
It is better suited to learners who want to study chess independently over the long term, solve tactics problems, and build a more complete endgame/opening foundation. It is also suitable for parents looking to provide structured training resources for their children. If you only want explanations from a Chinese-speaking teacher or real-time correction, local courses may be a better fit. The text does not provide information about access from mainland China, and since it involves the official website, downloads, payments, and mobile apps, actual usability should be tested before purchase.
