In this post I plan on sharing with you some of the basics of chess to help you know how the game is played and one or two basic set up rules.
One thing I need you to know is that chess is a game of ability and as any ability it can be learned. If you are really serious about learning the best way to play chess and getting better it'll take some discipline on your side to take time and look at the game, investigate your games and play A LOT of games to get better.
Nothing can replace the experience of just simply playing more games and different opponents. After you get the courage to play your first game, then your second, then your third you may start to find what playing style you are happy with and start dominating your opponents.
Now let's get into a couple of the basics.
The Basics of Chess:
Chess is a two player board game, one player plays with white pieces and one player plays with dark pieces. Each player starts with 16 pieces and take turns moving one piece at a time generally.
The opponent with the light pieces moves first and you can think about your chess pieces as your armed forces of squaddies going to war. The key target of the game is to attack your contestant, eat as many of their pieces as practicable and eventually trap their king which is known as "checkmate".
Although your main objective is to trap your opponents King this would possibly not be the case every game. There are a pair other ways in which a game can end:
- One way is a stand-off where neither adversary can checkmate the other OR when one players king isn't under control but is surrounded in such a manner that no matter where he moves he would be putting himself under control which isn't a legal move.
- Another kind of stand-off is when both opponents have caught all of each others pieces Except for their kings. This is a stand-off as you can't checkmate with only the kings on the board.
- The last and final way that a game can end is if one player throws in the towel and quits. Although you should not EVER give up a game you can do it by simply knocking over your king and let your competitor know you are quitting.
The reason why you should never give up a game is often because you never can tell what can occur and what it takes is ONE mistake from your contestant for you to fully take over the game.
One quick tip to remember is whoever controls the center 4 squares controls the game and is in a better position to attack. So keep this in mind when you play your first game.
One thing I learned very early in my chess career was to always be attacking and shielding. This suggests you always need to attack your contestant while still shielding your pieces. If you can keep your adversary retreating then you're in good shape.
Now I inspire you to go and play your first game. There are many places where you can play against other beginners players. One of the more popular places to play is at chess.com.
If you continue to don't feel snug playing your first game and feel you want to learn a few more things I am going to follow up this article with with two more articles like how to set up the board properly and how each piece moves.
