Introduction 2nd  Course

This is the second course for real beginners, for players who already know how the pieces are moved, a chessgame is setup and have the skills of special moves. Here we`ll learn the easiest kinds of endgames. A chessgame contains 3 parts: Opening, middle-game and endgame. We`ll discuss the endgames at first because they are most easily to learn.

How we`ll work:

We`ll  setup positions at: www.apronus.com/chess/wbeditor.php and exercise them. Below the text to them there will be animated graphics where you can see how the studies are played. There will be three examples whose will be discussed and  each one is illustrated by one or more animated graphics.The positions are examples participally from books and created by my own. You can see our course at our Campus too, where you can type in the solutions of our assignment-exercises in a topic/reply as your assignment. If you still have no chessgame, you can print one out, (at the best on photo-paper) here. Board  Pieces

This course is for real beginners who already know the board notation and how to move the pieces and their values. We`ll work as follows:
