Updates

My Games Folder — All Dojo users now have a default folder called My Games. This folder will contain classical games that you have played and analyzed. We will soon use it for tools like your performance stats and your overall time management rating, so make sure to add your games here!

Game Annotation Workshop — Sensei Jesse's game annotation workshop continues to work its way up the ladder. We’ve had several great and convivial groups so far. On August 4th, we’ll start a workshop for the 1500-1800 cohorts (1750-2050 Chess.com, 1970-2150 Lichess). Register here.
