Capturing Pieces 1 (Chess)

If you're just starting out in chess, giving away pieces in a single move is something you simply can't afford—especially if you're serious about improving your game. Equally important is not missing an opportunity to capture an undefended piece from your opponent! This course offers over 1400 exercises featuring positions with only a few pieces on the board, making it an ideal resource for rapid skill development for beginners.

Designed for players already familiar with the basic rules of chess, this extensive collection of training puzzles ensures that even solving just 20% of the exercises will significantly sharpen your tactical awareness and help you avoid costly blunders in real games. All exercises are derived from actual games and organized by piece type and difficulty level, ensuring structured and effective learning.
