Capturing Pieces 1 (Chess)

This course contains over 1,400 board exercises with minimal pieces.

As a beginner, you cannot afford to lose a piece in a single move—if you want to get better at chess! Likewise, you should never miss a chance to capture your opponent’s undefended piece. This course includes more than 1,400 exercises with only a few pieces on the board, making it a powerful tool for sharpening the skills of new players. Designed for those already familiar with the rules, even studying 20% of the exercises will boost your chess ability and help you consistently grab unprotected pieces in real games. All exercises are drawn from actual games and organized by piece type and difficulty level.
