World of Chess 1: Foundation

WORLD OF CHESS 1 IS SET UP TO MAKE CHESS ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE!

This course is designed to make chess as easy as possible. By making the video's short and with tons of exercises you will learn to play chess. Enjoy the beauties of chess today and start your journey with this course.

My name is Tom Meurs. I am a chess player from the Netherlands, playing for almost 20 years. I love the game, not only is it intellectually challenging, it is at times beautiful and asks a lot of creativity. Every time I think I resolved the chess mysteries, I get in some strange position with some very unexpected turns. This keeps chess very exciting. Now, I love to share my passion about chess, and I think Udemy is a great platform to give people a taste of the world of chess. That's basically what I try to do in this course: there is everything to get a good foundation for playing and studying chess on your own, with friends or at the club.

This course is different then other courses about learning the game of chess:
1) I try to keep the video's as short as possible, without skipping any important topics. This makes the course easy and fun to watch.
2) After (almost) every video, there is a quiz to test your knowledge and understanding. Do you just know the concepts? Or can you apply them to new positions? This is the true goal of learning: acquiring knowledge which results in better decision making. This course aims at understanding, not just knowledge.
3) 'Formula' sheets to remind you of the most important rules.

WITHIN THIS COURSE YOU GET:

Video's: During this course I will guide you step-by-step to play chess and play it well with the help of video's. I will shortly explain a new concept, why it is important and then try to present situations in which this concept can be applied.
Quizzes: Chess is all about skill. Not only do you need to know something (=knowledge), but you also need to know when and how to apply it in your games (=skill). This course was especially designed to test your knowledge, so every chess video is coupled with a quiz.
Formula sheet: To keep all the information sorted, a formula sheet will remind you of the key concepts and rules.
Bonus lectures: in the bonus lectures I focus on covering some different chess formats, to spice up your game and show you how to play chess online for free.
