INFORMATIONS 

The material of the chess school has been compiled for 4 different levels, built on each other. The first one starts up from zero, it's the level of the beginners under 1000 rating. The second one is the basic level for players under 1400 rating. The third is the intermediate level for players under 1800 rating, the fourth is the advanced level for players under 2100 rating, this one is under construction.
