Introduction to Chess
Course Overview
About This Free Course
“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”
Between 2008 and 2013, I actively pursued chess and represented the Iranian youth national team twice (2010 and 2012), with our team finishing third in the Asian blitz section in 2012. That same year, my teammates and I also won the Iranian Premier League. Like most competitive chess players, I participated in and won many individual tournaments. Although I haven’t competed in official tournaments for several years, at the time of creating this course my online play placed me among the top 1% of players worldwide, according to a Lichess profile I created specifically for this course.
Having devoted much of my youth to chess and later trained in computational sciences, I now see an opportunity to combine my scientific perspective with my understanding of chess. That’s why I created this Introduction to Chess course: designed specifically for beginners, it provides a clear, solid foundation while showing the game through a computational and scientific lens. No prior chess knowledge is required—just an openness to an academic-style approach and attention to detail.
The course is divided into two parts:
Part 1 (S1–S5) covers the essential chess rules and notation in just over one hour.
Part 2 (S6–end) focuses on improving gameplay and developing strategic thinking in under two hours.
Who Should Take This Course
"Introduction to Chess" is aimed at people who want a practical, structured introduction to development without paying full price for it. It's a solid fit if you're starting out in development and want a guided course rather than piecing tutorials together yourself, if you've tried free YouTube content on the topic and want something more organized, or if you already work in a related area and want a refresher you can finish at your own pace. Since enrollment happens on Udemy itself, you keep full access to view the lectures, download any provided resources, and revisit the material later — this isn't a stripped-down or time-limited version of the course.
Why This Course Is Worth Taking
Our take: this listing earns a spot on FreeWebCart because the coupon we verified actually brings the price to $0, not just a token discount, and the course carries a 4.9/5 rating on Udemy from 1,001+ students who've already enrolled. That combination — real reviews plus a working 100% OFF code — is what we look for before publishing a development course. It won't replace hands-on experience or a full degree program, but as a low-risk way to test whether development is worth pursuing further, or to pick up one specific skill, the free price tag makes it an easy yes while the coupon lasts.
