Course overview
Rostami begins with coordinates and piece movement, then introduces game results and notation before later topics. The course connects understanding the board with reading and reviewing moves, supplying a basis for independent study. Online-play guidance adds practical context without making a particular platform the definition of learning chess.
What you will learn
- Use board coordinates and basic notation
- Understand pieces and game results
- Prepare for independent study and practice games
Who this suits
Useful for a complete beginner who wants a clear sequence and is willing to think carefully and practise regularly rather than rush into fast online games.
Before you enroll
No prior chess knowledge is required. About three hours and one minute of video are listed, updated June 2026. Platform interfaces and account features may change, so verify them separately. Course completion does not guarantee a rating, and fast game volume alone is not evidence that the underlying principles are understood.
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
Record a short game in notation and replay it on a board. Explain one decision in your own words, check the opponent’s available responses and identify a specific topic for your next study session.
