Learn to Play Chess for Beginners with IM Mat Kolosowski + PGN

What you will learn:

• Setting up a chessboard is frigging easy. For a beginner, it can be confusing on how to position the board and place the pieces correctly on it. Does the White queen sit on a light square? Which color comes on the right corner of the board? Which pieces sit beside the king? This series will clear up all these questions for you.
• Learn how to capture pieces in a game. Being able to capture pieces in the right way makes or breaks your game. Capturing with pawns, capturing with minor pieces, capturing with the king…this series has got more than one video on this.
• When does your king lose castling rights? Castling is a tricky affair—it’s not merely about interchanging the squares between your rook and king. Do you know that you can’t castle your king while he is in check? Why should you even castle your king? Know more about it inside…
• Why is a rook more valuable than a bishop or a knight? Do you think all pieces are equal in value? Like a pawn, a bishop, or a rook? Guess what, they are not. Each of the pieces has a material value tagged to them—the idea is to gain material value with every exchange. Let Matt teach you all about it.
• How pawn promotion actually works. What happens when a pawn reaches the end of the board? How should you use this little tactic in an actual game? Discover the art of pawn promotion with IM Kolosowski in this sweet, little course now.
