Free Chess Course --taught by a pug

Sort:
uptight-puppy

Hey, I'm not sure if this is cool to do here, but hopefully it's ok. I just created a chess course. It's taught by my alter ego, Uptight Puppy which is an animated pug. Totally normal.

thank you

what rating is it good for

uptight-puppy

It's good for beginner to intermediate players. I'd say class C and lower. Would be great to have you in the class!

I looked at it. I can do without the dog animation.

I'm about class F to E at best. Have played a lot, but I'm not that good. Is this right for me?

Thing is... I checked it out... It was WAYYY too easy.. And I'm wayyy below your recomended rank.

Please make another, slightly harder course, because I loved the structure and, of course, the pug...

Unfortunately, I think the old April Fool's joke www.chessforpets.com has been taken down...

Oh, wait! It's in the archives: https://web.archive.org/web/20180401031451/http://www.chessforpets.com/

The formatting is slightly kerbobbled, but it's still laugh-attable (is that a word? It is now!)

Thanks.  Cute idea.  Sound advice.

Glad at least some of you like it!

So I was getting a lot of crufty students having the course for free so I've created a coupon instead so only this group can take the class for free:

CHESS.COM-FREE-FEB

That will work through the end of February.

Hope you enjoy happy.png

Yeah, it's not for everyone, but even intermediate players often find useful lessons there, like draws or how to capture en passant... That said, perhaps you already know all these things!

LOL. Cat is a GM. Will need cat to make an appearance on the next Uptight Puppy course...

Does anyone know how to get in touch with the cat?
