Learning & Playing Chess

You do not necessarily need a chess board for this module. Throughout this you will get to know and use some of the very best Chess websites and apps from the many now available – for learning, for practising and for playing friends online.

“My name is Dylan. I’m originally from London. I have been a teacher for nearly three decades and a Chess player for more than four!

I was lucky to begin playing chess at a very young age, although any time is a good time to begin – and the best age to begin is the one you are right now.
Through all the changes in my life, in all the places I have lived I’ve found people ready to play chess – of all ages, backgrounds and cultures. Sometimes, great conversations begin over a game; other times, there’s no need to talk at all – the game is all you need.
Chess is a game for anybody and everybody, which also allows glimpses into how brilliant minds think about the most complex problems.”

We constantly try to improve our modules on the Distance Learning Hub to provide you with the best learning experience possible. If you have a couple of minutes, we would really appreciate some feedback on this module!
