Pausing a course

When you pause a course, it will be removed from your active learning sessions and will no longer appear in the 'Your Courses' tab on the Courses page when filtering by 'Show All.'

However, your progress is saved, and you can easily resume the course at any time.


How to pause a course on Chess.com

  • Go to the Courses page and locate the course you wish to pause under the 'Your Courses' tab.

  • Click the three dots in the upper right corner of the course and select 'Pause.'

Pausing the Everything You Need To Know About Chess course on Chess.com

You can pause both free and paid courses. However, pausing a paid course does not mean you are returning it. If you'd like to return a paid course, you can do so by contacting support via email or chat, provided it's within the 30-day guarantee period.

Additionally, if you'd prefer to keep a course but not review certain variations, you can pause individual variations on their respective pages.
