Korshub's take
Chess taught the way kids actually learn
Rather than dense rulebooks, this course uses a series of short, animated videos to teach how each piece moves, the most common checkmate patterns, special moves like castling, opening basics, and five of the most common tactical tricks in the game.
Who it's for
Kids of all ages who are new to chess, and any beginner who wants a friendly, visual introduction rather than a dry rulebook.
What kids take away
- How every piece legally moves around the board
- Recognizing common checkmate patterns before they happen
- Special moves, including castling
- Five frequently used tactical tricks
The course is taught by former national champion FunMasterMike, who has played chess for more than 30 years and taught it for 20 — enough, by the end, to comfortably beat most untrained opponents.
