Free Chess Video Lessons — Openings, Tactics, Strategy & Endgames | C4Chess
Video Library
Coach-made lessons across openings, tactics, strategy, and endgames — free to watch, no account needed.
What you'll find in the library
The C4Chess video library covers the full range of chess improvement — from beginner-friendly opening guides to advanced positional concepts for competitive players. Coaches explain ideas visually on a board, break down the reasoning behind each move, and highlight the patterns that come up again and again in real games. Each video is self-contained, so you can jump straight to whatever your game needs right now.
Openings, middlegame strategy, tactical patterns, endgame technique, and game analysis are all represented. New videos are added regularly as part of the C4Chess coaching curriculum, so the library grows with the programme.
Videos are a start — coaching makes it stick
Watching chess videos is useful, but most improvement stalls because there is no one to check whether you are actually applying what you watched. C4Chess students get these same videos paired with live sessions where a coach tests your understanding, corrects mistakes in your games, and decides what to focus on next based on where you are actually losing points.
If the videos here spark your interest, book a free demo session to see what a full coaching experience looks like — or apply as a student to get started straight away.
