ChessTrainer.org and ChessTrainer.com are separate services. This website is ChessTrainer.org: an online chess training application with explained lessons, narrated master-game study, and practice. A similar domain name does not mean the services share ownership, accounts, or subscriptions.
What the .com site describes
ChessTrainer.com presents coaching with FIDE Instructor Dhanesh Shrikhande, including individual lessons, homework, and game analysis. If you were looking for that coach or have an arrangement with that service, go directly to ChessTrainer.com.
The information here identifies the services; it is not an assessment of that coach’s results or a claim of affiliation. Consult the .com site for its current offering and contact details.
What you can do here
On ChessTrainer.org, begin with the Academy, study the move-by-move method, or open a sample master game. The learning approach asks you to understand the purpose of moves and revisit the ideas in practice.
For account features and subscriptions, use our pricing page. Credentials or payments for another service should not be expected to work here.
Choose the kind of support you need
A human coach can provide a personal relationship and live discussion. A self-directed application can make short practice sessions easier to fit into the day. Some learners use both. The right choice depends on the guidance, schedule, and feedback you want.
Before choosing, try a sample and ask whether you can explain the chess idea afterward. That is a more useful starting point than the similarity of the domain names.

The shared words in the domain names describe a broad activity. They do not establish a shared account system or a business relationship. Check the full address when following a booking link or returning to a service you have used before.
Compare a live lesson with independent study
A lesson with a human instructor can include questions about your habits across games, discussion at your pace, and feedback shaped by an ongoing teaching relationship. For the exact services offered by the .com provider, use its own current description.
Independent study here lets you choose an article, inspect a worked board, and connect the idea to a complete game. A useful first session is to predict the next move, compare your reason with the explanation, and return later to solve the position without hints.
Those are different ways to organize learning, and some players combine them. Bring the same standard to either: the explanation should help you identify the relevant threat, square, or plan, and the practice should require a decision of your own. Choose by that experience rather than by assuming similar names refer to the same service.
