Learn the Basics of Chess
In this post I plan on sharing with you some of the basics of chess to help you know how the game is played and one or two basic set up rules.
One thing I would like you to know is that chess is a game of skill and as any skill it can be learned. If you are actually serious about learning how to play chess and getting better it'll take some discipline on your side to take time and observe the game, analyze your games and play Plenty Of games to become better.
Nothing can replace the experience of just <a href="http://buyrokureview.com/xbox-kinect-review/">simply playing more games</a> and different opponents. Once you get the bravery to play your first game, then your 2nd, then your 3rd you will begin to find what playing style you are ok with and start dominating your opponents.
Now let's get into a couple of the basics.
The Basics of Chess:
Chess is a two player board game, one player plays with white pieces and one player plays with dark pieces. Each player starts with 16 pieces and take turns moving one piece at a time generally.
The contestant with the light pieces moves first and you can think about your chess pieces as your military of infantrymen going to war. The main objective of the game is to attack your opponent, eat as many of their pieces as possible and finally trap their king which is named"checkmate".
Although your main objective is to trap your opponents King this would possibly not be the case every game. There are a pair other ways in which a game can end:
One way is a stalemate where neither competitor can checkmate the other OR when one players king is Not in control but is trapped in such a way that regardless of where he moves he would be putting himself in check which is not a legal move.
Another form of stalemate is when both opponents have captured all of each others pieces Excepting their kings. This is a stalemate because you can't checkmate with only the kings on the board.
The last and last way that a game can end is if one player throws in the towel and gives up. Though you shouldn't EVER quit a game you can do this by simply knocking over your king and let your contestant know you are giving up.
The reason you should not give up a game is often because you never can tell what can occur and what it takes is ONE mistake from your opponent for you to completely take over the game.
One fast tip to recollect is whoever controls the center 4 squares controls the game and is in a stronger position to attack. So keep this under consideration when you play your first game.
One thing I learned extraordinarily early in my chess career was to always be attacking and defending. This means you usually wish to attack your adversary while still protecting your pieces. If you can keep your contestant retreating then you are in good condition.
Now I inspire you to go and play your first game. There are many places where you can play against other beginners players. One of the more popular places to play is at chess.com.
If you still don't feel cushty playing your first game and feel you want to learn one or two more things I am going to follow up this document with with a few more articles like how to set up the board properly and how each piece moves.
