Chess for beginners | Learn chess from scratch
Chess for beginners from scratch: rules, piece moves, checkmate, and your first online game.
Beginner chess should start short, interactive, and light on jargon: setup, piece moves, captures, check, mate, then a slow game.
Week one is rules and moves. Week two is simple puzzles and queen mates. Week three is casual online games with a long clock.
A common mistake is memorizing openings before seeing tactics. Learn two- and three-move patterns first.
GChess puts that beginner path in fundamentals, puzzles, and free play so you do not bounce between foreign sites.
