Some players have a chess piece next to their profile picture. What is that?
A chess piece next to the profile picture indicates the highest exam the user has passed. If you haven't taken an exam yet, there won't be a chess piece next to your avatar. Passed the Pawn diploma? Then a pawn will appear next to your profile picture. Passed the Bishop exam? Then a bishop will be next to the photo.

I can't see all the lessons. Why is that?
To make your learning experience as focused and enjoyable as possible, lessons that are not yet relevant to your level, according to our insights, are hidden by default. As you progress, you unlock more learning material (lessons and levels).
If you want access to all the learning material right away, you can. Go to My account - Learning settings and check the option 'Unlock all lessons'.
