ChessWise Free Course: How to Play Chess
For years ChessWise has had a free "How to Play Chess" course, and now we've updated and expanded our lessons, including a two-part final exam. What makes this course special is the Chess Java Boards which lets the players pick up the piece and move them as directed. It's much more effective than simply reading the rules.

To take this course, simply register for free with ChessWise (and you'll be able to track the lessons in your homeroom -- which is also called "My ChessWise").

The lessons in this course include:

1: Course Requirements
2: Introduction and Objectives
3: The Chess Board
4: Chess Notation and Starting Position
5: Review Games
5: Bishops
6: Rooks
