The course offers a promising introduction to chess, but it falls short in depth and engagement. The interactive modules felt basic, lacking challenging scenarios to stimulate deeper learning. Guided gameplay sessions were too infrequent, limiting practical application of strategies. Additionally, the pacing was uneven, making it hard to absorb all the material effectively. Overall, it serves as a light starting point but doesn’t delve deeply enough for serious newcomers.
