I am writing about chess basics like strategies and notation.

I will post it on this chain when I'm done you can even help me make improvements. I don't think you're going to learn anything but it's worth a shot

loook forward to what you have to say!

Chess

 

         I just don’t get why people hate chess. Chess is like war. People like war games. I don’t get why you people hate chess (to those that do)!!!  Reasons I think are true:

¨   They are chicken of losing

¨   They THINK it’s hard

¨   They’re idiots

¨   They have a checkers mind

¨   They THINK it’s complex

¨   They are afraid to try new things

¨   They know a friend who hates it

¨   Or just plane hate it.

 

If you have another reason or your reason of hating it then tell me.

 

 

I’ll tell you why chess it AWESOME!!!!! Every piece has it’s own way of moving, There are 32 pieces on the board 16 on one side 16 on the other. The object of the game:

Checkmate!!!!!

Checkmate is when you are checking the king and the opponent has no way to get out of or stop it. The only ways to stop check is:

1.   Block it with another piece.

2.   Move you king out of the way.

3.   Capture the checking piece

 

         I’ll start easy. I know you thought I was going to teach you he pawn first but we’ll go into that later for it is by far most the most complex piece of all. We will talk about that later.

 

The Rook (5 points) can:

¨   Go forward

¨   Go backward

¨   Go left

¨   Go right

¨   Not jump over pieces

¨   Can check the opponent

¨   Mostly works with other rook

¨   Works better with the queen

     The Bishop (3 points) can:

¨   Only go diagonally

¨   Not jump over pieces

¨   Check the opponent

¨   Stronger with the other bishop

The Queen (9points!!!) can:

¨   Move diagonally

¨   Move forward

¨   Move backward

¨   Move left

¨   Move right

¨   Check the opponent

¨   Only one

¨   Not jump over pieces

The knight (3 points) can:

¨   Jump over pieces!!!

¨   Check the opponent

¨   Move 2 spaces then turn one space

¨   Works better alone

 

The King (priceless) can:

¨   Move one space in every direction

¨   Not check the opponent

¨   Not jump over pieces

¨   Can castle if not pieces are in the way and it nor the rook has moved and the king cannot cross over a threatened square

 

Now the hardest of all… dun dun dun the pawn (1 point Stop laughing it’s weak but complex!) can:

¨   Move 2 spaces on it’s first move

¨   Do en passent when it is next to a piece on the 4^th rank

¨   Only move up one space

¨   Can only capture pieces that are diagonally forward of it

¨   Not jump over pieces

¨   Check the opponent

 

Point checking

Queen: 9

King: priceless

Knight: 3

Bishop: 3 (some people say 3.5 or 3.4)

Rook: 5

Pawn: 1

 

Notation

         Notation is how you keep track of your moves. You write the piece your moving the where it’s going. If 2 of the same piece can move to the spot you put whatever it is whatever row or column it’s on the where it’s moving to. EX: Rae4. When someone captures a piece you put “x” in between the piece and where it captured the other captured piece. EX: Rxg4 (unfinished)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~Chess Basic strategies~~~~~~~~~~~

         The opening: The opening of is the important because it tells the opponent what kind of chess player you are. Like an aggressive player, a defensive player, a caution player, or a noob.

         There are various different openings, like the larson’s opening (unfinished)

so that is it  /\

no thats not all...begginers should really pay attention to the end game...an understanding of endgames can salvage a lost game and turn a draw into a win...if you dont know how to checkmate with just a rook and king vs a king you should learn until its automatic...same as learning how to hold the opposition against a king and pawn vs a king it should be automatic how to keep a draw...tactics are essential, some have said that chess is like 90% tactics, im not sure how they get that % but they are VERY important...basic checkmate patterns should be reviewed often to engrain them in the brain so that you can spot them while playing...pawn formations, color complexes, good vs bad bishops, closed positions vs open positions, when to sac an exchange (give a rook for a knight or bishop), how certain openings lead to similar positions, how a smaller force can crush a larger army by working i harmony, and typical opening traps are all things one should be framilar with...thats a small list of basics...chess is anything but basic and one can live a full life devoted to chess and never learn everything...alekhine said that and its true!

yes I know but remember I wasn't done. come to think of it I've only worked on it once sience then
