Description

Chess is a brain game played between two players. It is dated back before the 7th century. There are a variety of versions of chess developed over a period of centuries.

Modern-day chess is modified mostly by Grandmasters of this game such as Chess960. I will teach you the basic and classic form of chess that is played universally.

Once you learn the tactic, you will brilliantly catch up to this age-old game of strategy.

The course is designed carefully and has used simple language, hence it is easy to understand the concept.

Video demonstrations, graphical representations, and pictures are used to represent each concept.

Each concept and rule of chess is important to win the game. Whether be it a simple game played between two individuals or played in a chess tournament.

If you are well versed with all the concepts of the game, it will give you confidence and is more likely to win the game.

In my example, I lost one tournament during my school days. It was just because I didn't know one chess rule, but my opponent knew well. The moment she realized I don't know this particular concept, she took advantage and I lost the game. I remembered to learn that concept and move ahead in future tournaments.

This course is an attempt to cover all the basic concepts no matter how small it is, I know its importance to win the game.

I have tried to detail all the basic concepts in easy and understandable words.

Learn this wonderful game that will develop your thinking capability as well as enjoy while learning and playing.
