- jrpt 4y agoYou could do that 10-15 years ago too though. Chess.com has been around a long time.

- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoAnd ICC(Internet Chess Club) was around even in the 90s! Chess video lectures have existed since the eaely 00s too, though they cost money and you'd buy them on a DVD filled with a mixture of video files and PGN files along with some metadata to be viewed through Chessbase. It was basically the same thing as Chessable is today. Probably competitive in price too; Chessable is pretty fucking expensive if you actually want the video lectures.
