Every chess grandmaster started exactly where you are right now — staring at a board full of pieces, wondering what they all do.
In this course, you will meet every piece on the board one by one. You will see how each one moves, practice on real boards, and solve challenges that test what you have learned — just like a real chess training session.
By the time you finish, you will know every piece by heart and be ready to play your very first game of chess.
Your pieces are on the board. Let us begin.
