Chess · Stage 1: Don't hang pieces

Checks, captures and threats

Most games are lost to a check, a capture or a threat that was there to be seen. This lesson makes the habit automatic.

Already know this? Take the check: just the questions, no reading. Get them all right first time and the lesson counts as done.

Before every move, look at checks, captures and threats. First theirs, asking what their last move does, then yours.
