Puzzle Rush for True Beginners?

I am trying to introduce a brand new person to the game and make it fun.

By beginner I mean they know how to move the pieces and castle. They aren't ready to even play very weak players in a live game. They will probably still fall for a four move checkmate.

We tried puzzle rush, but it was a little too difficult. They only got 1, 2, or 3 right, which wasn't fun at all, and discouraged them.

Is there a simplified puzzle rush somewhere for true beginners to develop very basic skills?


Note: I am not talking about the crazy definitions of beginner some of you use like anyone with a Blitz rating under 1500. Lol

I thought I had seen in a post that there was a simpler version puzzle rush for kids somewhere? Maybe on another site?

Try the Puzzles "Learning" mode and the Lessons.

I think the best way to like chess before dedicating yourself is just playing, then you start doing excersises. I began to like chess by looking at Agadmators videos.

Do lessons to learn the basics first.

Beginners should start with something simple to gain the ability to "see" the full board and avoid hanging pieces. In my opinion the best start is the attacker/defenders drill at chessgym.net, where you have to click on all pieces that are attacked/defended. I wonder why there is nothing comparable here ....
