UdemyThis course takes you from your first move to a player who develops efficiently, protects the king, seizes early advantages, and executes checkmates. The teaching method—developed by an International Chess Master—combines training videos with interactive practice through Chess Mates Companion software, so you apply new concepts immediately.
You'll be playing within the first hour, then building fundamentals at your own pace. This is built for genuine beginners seeking solid foundations, not for experienced players—but it sets you up to keep improving long after the course ends.
This course takes you from your first chess moves to a player brimming with confidence who knows how to develop the forces efficiently, keep the king safe, repel the opponent's attacks, obtain an advantage early on, and checkmate your opponents.
What makes this course unique? Dr Alex is combining both, his experience as an International Chess Master and a coach, and his experience in programming teaching and adaptive systems, to give you the combination of training videos and the exercises through the 'Chess Mates Companion' software. This way, you get to apply your new knowledge in practice immediately, and learn chess in the fastest way possible.
You start playing chess in less than one hour, and build your strength from there.
If you're already a seasoned chess player, this course is not for you - but watch for the follow-up courses soon!
If you're a beginner and want to learn to play chess confidently, quickly, and with the best foundations, this course is ideal for you.
