Can you really ever "replace" private lessons with a GM??? More of a supplement in your case, but for many, it will be the best "guidance" they have ever had!!!

Common sense even tells ME that! You would think a NM would realize it.

Today's newly published study plan has landed ~ & it's full of tactics!

We're done for this week! The Beginner Study Plan Series is now complete. :) Stay tuned though, because there's much more to come!

However -- responding further to my buddy DeepGreene's last comment -- We will eventually have study plans specific to certain tasks: Like beginner players wanting to master the Dragon Sicilian, etc... For now, our focus remains on expanding our "base repertoire" which is the Intermediate, Advanced, and Master Path Study Plans!
Look for this feature to become a critical part of how members navigate and use the features of Chess.com!!!
Thanks everyone!!!
This is a fun & instructive new project we're kicking off this week - by publishing a new plan every day!
