Good Evening club members, this is Ritheeshchess  with some useful material

and for today's news, we are going to be learning how to develop your chess pieces

Just like Kings developing their army, chess follows the same principle

Why developing of chess pieces are important?

In chess, you need all your pieces in play to have the best chance of winning. ... Being ahead in development is a good thing because whoever has their pieces ready first can attack first and their chances of winning are more higher than their opponent and can defend in some cases also achieving control in the center.

Here are some tips to develop your pieces

1. First you need to develop your pawns in the d- file or the e-file because developing in these areas will help you gain control of the center of the board.

Then develop your knights and bishops after developing your kingside/ queenside pawns

for me I like to develop the knight first since it comes to an active square and can defend your pawns controlling the center.

Then develop bishop

and then castle Kingside.

(If you want to castle queenside you can do but you have to move your queen to an active square

and castling queenside is aggresive.)

This compeletes the opening game.

Here are some tips you should avoid and learn during developing your pieces

  • Don't make too many pawn moves. 
  • Don't bring your queen out too early. 
  • Don't move the same piece twice. 
  • Castle early. ...
  • Develop towards the centre. 
  • Clear the back rank and connect your rooks.
  • Attack (Develop) Towards the Center!
  • Develop Plans, Not Just Pieces!

And thats all for today

THANK YOU ALL AND HAVE A NICE DAY!happy.png

HI GUYS

 If your opponent castles early open / clear the side he has castle to expose his king from the start ; don't be worried about sacrificing pieces while exposing his king . I've done it many times and won most games by checkmate.
