IT'S HERE: the landmark new series that will go down in history as Magnus Carlsen's first major chess course.

The Magnus Touch brings you into the realm of the greatest mind in chess - reigning World Champion Magnus Carlsen.

See how Magnus eyes chess strategy as the Norwegian opens a rare door into his vault of thought processes and reveals how he finds those special moves.

This is by far the most comprehensive collection of my own games' analysis I've done. I learned a lot from this, and I hope you will too!

- Magnus Carlsen

These are the Magnus files where you can learn from the absolute master, the man rated the strongest of all time.

The Gold Standard in chess teaching

In this unique trainer Magnus, in conversation with Chessable's IM John Bartholomew, analyzes 10 of his most stunning games from 2004 to 2020, with exercises from an additional 44 games for a total of 54 of Magnus’s best games.

Magnus picks over examples from his classic encounters to teach you these vital middlegame skills:

🏆 Strategy in Sharp Positions;
🏆 Trading Dynamic & Static Advantages;
🏆 Maneuvering & Piece Play;
🏆 Play on the Whole Board;
🏆 Pawn Play.

With over 4,5 hours of video instruction, Magnus reveals how the nuts and bolts of his chess works. The Norwegian is famous for his "universal" style, and this approach shines through in his instruction.

Magnus is way too honest in The Magnus Touch, giving away what he thinks.
