Description

There is so much information about chess. Just watching videos is useful, but often is not enough. It's very important to at least have a system which contains some theory and a lot of PRACTICE. Recording this course I tried to solve this problem. This course contains everything you need for real progress. However, in this course, I just point you in the right direction and explain difficult moments. After that, I expect you to solve "homework". It must help you fully understand the information and your level is going to rise.


This course is good for beginners (0-1600 ELO), but don't worry if you have little experience because it helps you revise everything, get a system and practice. Of course, if you are 2000+ ELO rating player, this course might be too easy for you. I tried to use a detailed explanation, If anything was still too hard for you, I am waiting for your questions.

I want to give you some recommendations:

  • After watching the video, try to solve and figure out all homework. Yes, it's hard but super useful.

  • Try to play chess since module 3. Time control for you is Rapid (15 mins or more). Playing blitz(5 and less) for beginners is just for fun.

  • Don't waste your time. If something easy for you or I am speaking too slowly, make video speed 1.25x or even 1.5x :)))

  • Use subtitles I added to this series. Inside them, I tried to fix most of the mistakes I made during the explanation.

I hope you take advantage of this course. I did my best for you. Good luck, and see you at the chess tournaments!

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner chess players
  • Players, who are not far from basics
  • 1600 and less Rating FIDE players
