Chess can be an intimidating game for many people. This is mainly because it can seem like only the “geniuses” can learn chess. The reality is that anyone can learn how to play chess, no matter what their IQ score is. There are some claims that a higher IQ<\/a> will allow one to better understand complicated moves in chess, but this has not been proven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can learn chess regardless of previous knowledge of the game, intelligence, or ability, and totally discount IQ scores, it means nothing in terms of learning the basic moves and strategies of one of the world’s oldest and most played board games.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to learn the game of chess, then you should start by reading books<\/a> on the subject. It’s a great way to learn chess without having to spend money on lessons or equipment. Books can also provide a lot of information on different openings and strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way of getting started is to register and sign up for a site like chess.com<\/a> – there are some basic things you can learn to get started, and if you wish to learn at a greater pace than a free subscription will allow, signing up to a premium package will still work out cheaper than books or course at the very early stages of picking up the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
