I sympathise with you chess ref.
However as one responsible for the training of new umpires I can offer you the same piece of advise I offer those who choose to follow others into umpiring.
Spend your time initially understanding Rule 1 - the definitions.
As you initially become familiar with the definitions so the more complex rules will begin to make better sense.
We train umpires with the use of a case-book primarily to teach the INTENT of the rule.
This together with the definition of the rule makes the understanding far more easily digested and much more likely to understand.
