In traditional chess, the student memorizes.
With the Color Method, the student understands.
Example explained
We will learn how to read a position by discovering each color, one by one.

The red color applies to pieces that are poorly placed or still on their starting squares, where their influence is limited. They need to be developed to take part in the game.
The Red Piece
Orange applies to transitional pieces — those that are finding their place and starting to take part in the game, though not yet fully effective.
The Orange Piece
The green color represents pieces that are well-positioned and connected. They cooperate effectively and are prepared to attack.
The Green Piece
Finally, neon green represents the dominant pieces, those that have broken into the enemy camp and are leading the assault.
The Neon Green Piece

About me
I'm Lara Hernández, creator of the Color Method. A Candidate Master and French Under-18 Champion, I currently play in the Top 16 with the Tremblay-en-France club. For over ten years, I've taught chess to all kinds of people, from children to adults, with a simple idea: to make strategy dynamic and intuitive.
A lawyer by training, I combine the rigor of law with the creativity of the game.
My ambition? To democratize chess, making it accessible, engaging, and understandable for everyone.
The Method stems precisely from this vision: a pedagogical approach that uses colors to represent key strategic ideas, facilitating understanding, memory, and decision-making on the board.
