Hi! My name is Yue, I am a Chess FIDE Master and my current FIDE rating is 2267.

I have studied Aerospace Engineering and have recently started creating chess content over different platforms. If you have any questions feel free to ask me :)

Most beginner chess players have heard chess concepts like "develop your pieces", "move your pieces toward the center" or "castle", without really understanding why we want to do that. This course will help you to understand the ideas behind the most well-known concepts in Chess and teach you how to apply those concepts in the opening and middle game.

By the end of the course, you will know what you should aim for in the different stages of the game and how to find a plan in any given position. The course will also teach you how you can improve your opening repertoire and your middle game level by yourself using the resources that are available online.

The course is structured in four sections:

Section 1: Explanation of the three most important concepts in chess and how to apply them in-game.

Section 2: In-game examples.

Section 3: Different openings to start with, what are the differences, and how to learn them using the available resources online.

Section 4: Mid-game concepts using games from students (below 1500 rating).
