Course overview
This course concentrates on the thinking behind tactical puzzles rather than only presenting a test bank. Explained positions give learners opportunities to consider candidate moves and calculate a sequence. Its narrow purpose is useful after learning the rules, when recognizing a possible tactic does not yet mean finding the correct continuation.
What you will learn
- Examine tactical candidate moves
- Calculate short move sequences
- Explain a puzzle solution rather than guess it
Who this suits
Best for a beginner who knows the rules and piece movements but feels unsure what to examine when a position may contain a tactical opportunity.
Before you enroll
The provider requires basic rules and piece knowledge. About two hours and 16 minutes of video are listed, updated March 2026. The examples are taught lessons, with independent practice still needed. A puzzle-solving course cannot guarantee a rating increase or replace reviewing decisions made in your own games.
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
Pause an explained position before the solution and write down candidate moves and replies. Compare your reasoning with the lesson, focusing on the missed defensive resource rather than only whether your first move was correct.
