Everyone knows the 3 opening rules. The 3 middle game rules though are rules that not everyone knows. In this video, I will be teaching the 3 middle game rules:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDCApOvRA0o

I think it is better to sac with the bishop because the knight is a tricky peace you don't want to lose it can't be blocked if it is checked and in bughouse four knights are legendary

How to teach very young Children how to play Chess According to Piaget's model of cognitive development, I child under the age of ca. 8 can't learn how to play chess. While that is true, there is much fun to be had as soon as a child stops putting every thing in their mouth, which usually stops at about 18 months. Teach the child to separate black pieces form white pieces. Put all 32 pieces in a pile and put two bowls, left and right, in front of the child. Demonstrate the separating action by picking up a white piece and saying white, and then dropping it in one of the bowls. Then pick up a black piece, say black and put it in the other bowl. Do this one more time for each color. Then tell the child, “separate.” Instinctively the child will pick up a piece, If he does not prompt him to do so by moving his hand in the pile. Say, the color of the piece he picks up, and move over the correct bowl. If he doesn't let go, (and he probably won't) prompt him to drop the piece, by shaking his gently. Say the color as he drops the piece, and then once more (3 times is a charm. When teaching speech and language). Also, in the beginning you may have to prompt a lot, even essentially do all the work yourself, especially if the child is very young < 2 years. The golden rule for prompting is: “as much as necessary, as little as possible.” Also, the real key to this is praise, lots and lots of praise, especially in the beginning. You can pick up the child and throw him in the air, do a dance, simply go crazy and have fun. After the Child can do that with at least 70% accuracy, we'll use the same procedure as a above to teach the child to separate the pawn from the other pieces of the same color. Say, “pawn” and “not a pawn”. This is cognitively much harder, because 'not a …' is much more complicated to grasp cognitively. Do this with both colors, saying 'pawn' and 'not a pawn' Next, we will teach the Child the names of the other pieces and how to recognize them. Put the Rooks, Knights, Bishops, King and Queen in a pile in front of the child. Start from the out side and work in. Take Rook, show it to the child, say 'Rook', 'This is a Rook', 'Find the Rook'. Prompt as much as necessary and as little as possible. Do the same for the Knight and Bishop, until only the King and Queen are left over. This makes for the perfect opportunity to teach the concepts 'same' and 'different'. Now we'll start setting up the board. After the Pawns have been separated from the other pieces, take three white pawns and place them on the second rank on the A, B, C files. Tell the child to finish the row. Generally, you will want to have the child do this from left to right, unless you are from a country which reads from right to left. The back row. Setting up the back row is a perfect opportunity to teach the child to follow more than one command at a time. This is more difficult for a child to learn than it seems. (Some adults have difficulty following more than one instruction at a time!) Tell the child 'Put a one rook here and the other Rook here”, as you point to the squares where the Rooks belong. The child will probally only put one of the rooks in place and wait for you to repeat the command: Don't do that. If the child only places one rook on the board and waits for an aditional prompt. Don't do anything for a moment. Then, take the rook back off the board, put it back in the pile and repeat the command from the beginning: “Put one rook here and put the other rook here.” Proceed the same way with the knight and the bishop. If you remain consequent and teach the yound child to follow more than one command at a time, you are more likely to latter have a teenager, whom you can tell, “do your homework, then clean your room, and empty all the trash cans,” without the child comeing back to you inbetween saying I'm done with that, what now. So by now the child has learned to set up the chess board. Now it is time to learn how the pieces move. Children under the age of four simply may not have yet developed the cognitive abilities to remember 'cognitively' how the pieces move. But they can remember 'somaticly' (body/movement memory). Next we teach the child the first 10 moves of some of the basic openings, so that the adult falls into the trap of the opening and resigns. As black, I play a bad opening and have the child learn the steps to forking the King and Rook and Queen and Rook. Then as while I go for the 'Schäfer Mate.' I don't know what it is called in English, but its the opening in which white plays e4, Bc4, Qh5, and tries to checkmate with Qxf7. I'd also suggest having the Child play white and learning the moves to the Queen's Gambit trap in which black tries to keep the pawn advantage. In doing so, the child is not learning how to play chess really, but rather only learning through motor memory where the various pieces (can) go. However, after having learned the motions of some of the basic openings, when the child's cognition catches up, the child will have basic opening skills as basic opening knowledge eventually begins to sink in. Here is a video, of my daughter not yet 3 years old, playing blitzt, as if she knew what she was actually doing. Also, go ahead and use a clock. The kids like pushing the button and they might as well learn to not forget to push the button now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WdcOkeXj1g&t=54s After the child has learned the motions, and motor skills of moving and takining pieces. It time for dice chess. Print out the classic icons of the six pieces in chess, cut them out and glue one to each of the six sides of a die. Now you have a chess die. Dice Chess follows the same rules as standard chess with a few exception and all the pieces move the exact same way, as they do in standard. But, if you roll a piece that can't move, then it the other players turn. As such, you need a bauer or a springer to 'come out'. You have to move the piece you roll, so in dice chess, one does not really have to keep their pieces protected. Instead, one learn to attack the king, kamakazi style. Because, if the King is in check, that player has to roll the necessisary piece inorder to get out of check, else the game is lost. So, it's a fun fast game, in which the child learn how the pieces move, but doesn't have to know which piece to move, where, and how they move together. When I teach older kids how to play chess (first grade and above) I usually skip steps 1-7 and start with dice chess. After the child has become professient at dice chess, knows how all the pieces move and how to attack the King, standard chess is just a hop, skip and jump away. But the child will protest, because dice chess is fun and easy.

Who knows if Daily chess is the best because club picture is a 3 day game photo

While I love the idea of an official Daily chess club this is currently a cesspool of spammers, both on the forum and in the notes. It makes the club totally unusable.

Please chess.com! Call this by its correct name, Correspondence Chess Correspondence chess has been around for ages. ICCF: International Correspondence Chess Federation. ICCF sponsors the World Correspondence Chess Championship, and has since the 1950s! ICCF is recognized as a "cousin", of sorts, to the World's Chess Championship! (Magnus). There have been two American World's Correspondence Chess Champions, Hans Berliner, and Viktor Palciauskus. There is no such thing as a World's Daily Chess Champion Every other online chess organization which offers Correspondence Chess calls it by its correct name. The internet changed Correspondence chess forever by taking the post office out of the equation. I'm from an era where it took 9 months to 2 years to finish most games. I teach how to play Correspondence chess in ways to improve your play in all areas. Online Correspondence Chess is not a substitute for a Live game, and many people play blitz speed hoping to finish quickly. Go to Live Chess if you want that! Thanks for your time.

Sup, so anyway I'm in a tournament and I beat a dude because he timed out for both games. For some reason one win I gained 5 points and the other I gained 10. (He was over 100 below me). The other one is, it says, "Check your game vs ____" or something in the notification section, and when I clicked on it, it reapeared, when I deleted the notification it popped up again with the same message. Are these bugs or what
