Description

In order to use the chess pieces as soldiers in your army rather than just wood/plastic, it's important to understand two aspects. First of all, what are the pieces' abilities and special powers, such as promotion for the pawns and castling for the kings, and second of all, how to use them together towards winning the war, rather than just selfish individuals. This is what the course will show you, through stories and games to illustrate 25 main points. 

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to learn about chess straight from its basics, even if the student doesn't know how the pieces move yet.
