And I find it kind of funny because I find it kind of sad that the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.

The basics of each phase of the game

 

Opening:

Follow the Opening principles:

1.      Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5

2.      Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key

Ø  Complete your development before moving a piece twice or starting an attack.

Ø  Move pieces not pawns.

3.      Castle

4.      Connect your rooks

Ø    By move 12, you should have connected your Rooks, or be about to do so.

 

Middle game:

When you have completed the Opening Principles, you are now at the middle game.  Now you need to formulate a middle game plan.  The middle game is a very complicated part of a chess game.  A simple way to develop a middle game plan is to perform the following steps.

1.      Scan your opponents 5th, and 6th ranks (3rd, and 4th if your black)

2.      Look for weak pawns, and or weak squares.

Ø  Weak pawns and squares are Pawns, and squares that cannot be defended by another Pawn.

Ø  Knights are excellent pieces on weak squares.

Ø  When deciding on weak squares, and weak Pawns to attack, the closer to the center the better

 

End game:

Start with the basics:

1.      Learn basic mates – KQ vs. K, KR vs. K, KRR vs. K

2.      Learn Opposition, and Key Squares

3.      Learn basic King and Pawn endings

 

 

 

Pre Move Checklist

 

1. Make sure all your pieces are safe.

2. Look for forcing moves: Checks, captures, threats. You want to look at ALL forcing moves (even the bad ones) this will force you look at, and see the entire board.

3. If there are no forcing moves, you then want to remove any of your opponent’s pieces from your side of the board.

4. If your opponent doesn’t have any of his pieces on your side of the board, then you want to improve the position of your least active piece.

 

5. After each move by your opponent, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"

Kay knowing you are an elderly lady has really helped me. I feel so much more relaxed about you. You're just a little cranky.

I have a feeling Grissi was around during that time Tom.   And I still have that vid of your thread titles with "what are we" as the main igniter.   Bahahahaha

Nice Mexi. I think Troy does a what are we thread lately. Maybe one day I'll go back to wondering. I think I just like watching lately. I think I found my answer. Nature.
Avatar of Tomlight
Maybe you learn more through watching than saying what you think ought to be there. Anyway I'll review at the end of the year.

I work with this old guy. He's cranky but I enjoy him. I'll make an allowance for Kay going forward.

Which one's Kay. 😝

Hello beautiful.

This old guy can be throughly charming but sometimes gives me such a hard time.

The place wouldn't be the same without him and I get now it's the same with Kay.

She's an elderly lady that gets cranky sometimes.
