Welcome to the Beginners Page! This section and its following pages are dedicated to teaching some basic chess concepts: the fundamentals that will be useful in your chess games when starting off. These range from mating patterns, openings, how not to lose in 10 moves or less – and more! The pages are organized from easy to more advanced concepts, so it should be a natural learning progression as you go through the sections. All of the pages are fairly quick reads – some are longer than others – but all teach the early concepts of chess that every amateur should start off with. Good luck, and have fun reading and learning!
