Hello,

 

I have been working for some years on an iPhone chess app called Chess Trainer, which is here to help people improving their Chess skills.

In parallel, I have started to create videos based on the app content, for those who do not have access to the app store.

The first videos explain the rules of Chess, they are perfect for complete beginners and explain how the pieces are moving:

 

the basics and how the King moves:

 

 

how the Rook, the Bishop, and the Queen are moving:

you are free to use these videos in any context.

I'll update this post very soon with more advanced videos.
