Course overview
Karandikar develops beginner play from piece movement and captures into protection, check, mate and special rules. Opening principles and piece values help connect legal moves with an initial strategy. The course includes supporting material and practice positions, offering a longer route through the fundamentals than a brief rules overview.
What you will learn
- Understand movement, captures and protection
- Distinguish checkmate and stalemate
- Apply introductory opening principles
Who this suits
A fit for a beginner who wants substantial explanation and is willing to use a board or application to rehearse positions between lessons.
Before you enroll
The provider recommends a chess set or suitable application for practice. About seven hours and four minutes of video are listed, updated November 2022. A software account is separate if your chosen practice platform requires one. The completion certificate records study, not an official chess rating or coaching qualification.
Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.
Put it into practice
Play a slow practice game and record the moves where possible. Review one opening decision, one missed threat and the final result, explaining each with the rules or principles you studied.
