description

Good Move! is a special chess teaching program designed specifically to everybody (aged 7 to 70, from Absolute beginner to Expert level).

It includes the database of 750 graphic movies which provide a comprehensive and elegant introduction to all the key rules and ideas of the game. For example, explains and teaches terms like: 'En Passant', 'Castling', 'X-rays', 'Zugzwang', 'Opposition', 'Rook endings', 'Double Attacks', 'Decoys' and much, much more.

There is a particular emphasis on patterns and attacks. The movies run on average for 3-4 minutes and students can work through the lessons at their own pace, ticking off the movies as they go. Most topics include a quiz and students can record and check their answers.

Good Move! will help everybody to learn quickly what game is chess and how to play and win that game.

customer reviews
Anne Martin, Former SA Women's Chess Champion & Australian Olympian
"Good Move is a superb way to learn or to improve your chess whatever your level! From the beginner, to the intermediate to the expert, Good Move entices and enthrals and entertains. It draws from a vast base of chess theory and practice to present a condensed version of some of the most brilliant chess ideas and tactics played through the ages. All these ideas are expressed in a beautifully personable style, sprinkled with humour and laced with fascinating anecdotes. In fact, Good Move feels like having a personal conversation with a tactical genius and chess historian all rolled into one! I cannot recommend this program highly enough."
Barry Powell - Child Health Research Institute, South Australia
"It's wonderful. I've started my daughter (4) on it as well as my son (9) who has been playing competition chess for a couple of years"
Michael Paris - Maida Vale Western Australia
"I'm having lots of fun with Good Move! which, for a beginner like myself, , is a pleasure - actually, a delight! - to use."
