Hi Kim ...I'm Becky :)
OK I screwed up the math with the knights....they control 4 squares each from the middle and only 2 from the sides.....sorry .....and I don't seem to have this Meebo bar that you guys are talking about....
To be hones, you will benefit more if you learn endgame. Learn how to mate with Q+Kvs K, R+K vs K and 2B vs king (You also may want to learn how wto mate with 1B+1N, eventually, but that is VERY hard!)
You also need to learn pawnendgame, rook endgame etc.
Some basic rules for endgame:
| 1. | Doubled, isolated and blockaded Pawns are weak: Avoid them! |
| 2. | Passed Pawns should be advanced as rapidly as possible. |
| 3. | If you are one or two Pawns ahead, exchange pieces but not Pawns. |
| 4. | If you are one or two Pawns behind, exchange Pawns but not pieces. |
| 5. | If you have an advantage, do not leave all the Pawns on one side. |
| 6. | If you are one Pawn ahead, in 99 cases out of 100 the game is drawn if there are Pawns on only one side of the board. |
| 7. | The easiest endings to win are pure Pawn endings. |
| 8. | The easiest endings to draw are those with Bishops of opposite colors. |
| 9. | The King is a strong piece: Use it! |
| 10. | Do not place your Pawns on the color of your Bishop. |
| 11. | Bishops are better than Knights in all except blocked Pawn positions. |
| 12. | Two Bishops vs. Bishop and Knight constitute a tangible advantage. |
| 13. | Passed Pawns should be blockaded by the King; the only piece which is not harmed by watching a Pawn is the Knight. |
| 14. | A rook on the seventh rank is sufficient compensation for a Pawn. |
| 15. | Rooks belong behind passed Pawns. |
