Chessable Roundup: January 17, 2026


It’s our first roundup of the year, and 2026 is already off to a productive start on Chessable. The releases so far reflect one of Chessable’s specialties: openings for every kind of player.

You’ll find courses at every depth, whether you want to keep it simple with a 100-line repertoire or go all in with a Lifetime Repertoire. Build a beginner-friendly setup focused on the most common lines at lower levels, or dive into main lines for serious tournament play.

No matter your level, improvement works the same way for all of us: show up, put in the work, and stay consistent.

We hope these new releases give you fresh inspiration — and help you score points straight out of the opening.

Here’s a selection:

Lifetime Repertoires: Surya’s 1.e4 – Part 1
by 
GM Surya Shekhar Ganguly

Part 1 of GM Surya’s 1.e4 Lifetime Repertoire is here — and it starts strong with a “Logic-Buster” take on the Sicilian. You’ll play an approach Black won’t expect, then attack from multiple directions while breaking the ideas behind Black’s threats — not just stopping them.

The Platypus Defense
by 
IM Benjamin Defromont

The Platypus is an offbeat but remarkably solid answer to 1.e4. In this 200-line repertoire, you’ll learn its “beak-and-claw” attacks that keep White busy defending while you set up sharp tactical ideas.
