Patient thinking is the key to chess success. If you see a good move, sit on your hands and look for a better one. So is it a good idea to lose a bishop to save a pawn? No! DON’T PLAY TOO FAST Use these points to figure out whether you’re making a good move if you’re going to lose one of them: You must figure out what is and isn’t a good swap in chess. You’ll take some of your opponent’s pieces. But look at what will happen to your piece if you take his - will you get picked off? Always be looking for ways to move lots of your men into position to attack the enemy king. Take any chess piece that your opponent doesn’t protect. In the middlegame, always be on the lookout for ways to capture your opponent’s men. ATTACK IN THE “MIDDLEGAME”Īfter you’ve brought all your knights and bishops into the game and castled (these moves are your “opening”), the middlegame begins. This is the only chess move in which more than one piece may be moved in a turn. If your opponent neglects to castle, you might be able to launch an attack on his king. Once all the squares between your rook and the king are unoccupied you can move the king two squares toward the rook while the rook moves to the square on the the king’s other side. “CASTLE” EARLYĬastling is a move that allows you to move your king to safety and bring your rook into play. Ask yourself, “Does my move leave something unprotected?” DON’T WASTE TIMEĭon’t make too many moves with your pawns or try to pick off your opponent’s pawns. But always double-check your moves before you play them. Look at moves that would capture your opponent’s men or threaten his king first. WATCH YOUR BACK!Īnd front! When it’s your turn, always think to yourself, “What did my opponent’s last move do? What is he up to?” Is he laying traps to capture your pieces? Then decide on your own plan. You want to get these pieces out from behind the pawns so they can attack. GET THE KNIGHTS AND BISHOPS OUTīefore you move your queen, rooks or king, move your knights and bishops toward the center of the chess board. They move on an angle and can’t get out onto the field of battle if pawns are in the way. (Only on its opening move can a pawn move two squares.) This opens pathways for your bishops and queen to enter the game. Move the pawn in front of either the king or queen two squares forward. And the king moves at a stately pace - as a king should - one square at a time in any direction on the chess board. The queen, the most powerful piece, can move in any direction for any number of squares, but not two directions in one move. The rook (castle) can move only in a straight line but can go forward, back or to the side. The bishop moves at an angle but can move more than one square at a time. For instance, a pawn moves straight ahead but can only attack on an angle, one square at a time. Here are 10 tips to get you started: LEARN THE CHESS MOVESĮach chess piece can move only a certain way. If you want to be a chess champ, it’ll take lots of learning and lots of practicing.
