Course overview
Meurs organizes tactical study by themes, with definitions, walkthroughs and exercises supporting each idea. Patterns such as double attacks and pins are connected with forced move sequences. The format allows learners to work on a specific weakness and then compare it with related examples rather than attempt random puzzles without a learning plan.
What you will learn
- Recognize recurring tactical themes
- Follow and explain forced sequences
- Use exercises to diagnose calculation gaps
Who this suits
Best for a learner who knows the rules and can read notation, wanting a structured set of tactical explanations and practice rather than a first introduction to chess.
Before you enroll
The requirements specify rules and notation knowledge. About three hours and 50 minutes of video are listed, updated October 2020. Downloadable exercises need independent working time. Completing a themed course does not guarantee that the same opportunities will be noticed under the time pressure of a game.
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
Work through a few positions from one theme before viewing their solutions. Record the feature that made the tactic possible and then search for a related example in one of your own games.
