- You are busy. You want highest possible improvement with 60 minutes a day.
You’re not alone…
The Proven System That Gets Adult Players From 1000 ELO to 1500 ELO
I’m International Master Yevhenii Yelisieiev. I’ve played chess for more than 20 years and coached adults for the last 10. I teach over 49,000 learners on YouTube, and my programs are rated 4.9/5. My passion is to help busy adult improvers make real progress without wasting hours on what doesn’t matter.
Many players pass 1000 Elo then get stuck around 1100–1400. The opening is fine. Then the plan fades. Small edges slip away. Time runs low and one move ruins a good game. It feels like hard work with random results.
The breakthrough was not more lines. It was a calmer mindset and a short check you can run on every move. A reliable way to think that keeps you active and safe. When you do that the blunders stop showing up. The next move becomes clear. Games feel quieter and under control.
Again and again students report the same shift. Fewer one-move mistakes. Stronger middlegames. Clean conversions in the endgame. Steady climbs of 100–500 Elo in a few months. Most important they say they know what to do next and they play with confidence.
This course is where that shift happens on purpose. A clear path for 60 days. Short lessons that fit in 60 minutes. A thinking process you can trust every game. Openings you can rely on for both colors. Support when you need it.
If you are busy and stuck on the 1000–1500 plateau you are not missing talent. You are missing a way to think that works every time. Follow the plan and you will feel it in your next games. Fewer blunders. Cleaner wins. Real confidence. Let’s get you to 1500 Elo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this program for?
Players around 1000–1500 Elo. If you’ve crossed 1000 and feel stuck near 1100–1400, this is for you. If you’re under ~900 Elo, start with the 1000 Elo Blueprint.
Can I really reach 1500 in about 60 days?
Many students gain 100–300 Elo in 6–10 weeks. Pace varies by starting level and consistency. The goal is a reliable thinking process so blunders drop, plans are clear, and results compound month after month.
How much does it cost?
The 1000→1500 ELO Blueprint is a one-time payment for lifetime access to the program.
Bonus: you can optionally activate your free month of Academy live lessons after purchase.
What exactly do I get?
You get lifetime access to the 1000→1500 program (openings for both colors, practical middlegame plans, endgame essentials, and targeted drills).
If you activate Academy, you also get weekly live lessons (with replays included) and the private community for questions and feedback.
