Description

This course will take you from being a beginner at the game of chess to being basically proficient with it. It first teaches you the basics like the rules, and goes on to much more advanced subjects such as how to strategize, how to outsmart your opponent via tactics, and how to checkmate your opponent at the end.

If you've wanted to learn how to play chess or take it beyond a mere hobby, this course will be good for you. I am a nationally ranked chess player and have taught many people how to play a good game. I explain in simple and easy to understand ways how to play correctly.

Practice is very important, so if you are a true beginner it will be advisable to be playing games (online or in person) throughout the course so that you can truly understand and apply everything that we cover. If you have any questions I will be glad to answer them. Good luck with your chess!

It is good for people who don't know how to play chess as well as those who do but only play it as a hobby and want to get more skilled. It takes you through being a beginner with chess principles and tactics training to make you into a dangerous player.

My interest in the stock market began in 2008 around the time of the financial meltdown. Over that time I have learned a lot about investing smartly and buying good companies so that you can watch your money grow over time.

I am also knowledgeable about chess, having played it since I was six years old and being ranked in the top 50 players in the country for my age. I have taught chess to many people and helped them become skilled at the game.

I have been writing since I was very young and have since started Kid Writers Magazine, a writing magazine specifically for kids. I have also written several books for kids.

Additionally I have experience with websites and website creation, creating my first web sites at eight years old and maintaining several popular sites.
