Beginning Strategies You should always move your Knights before any other good piece. The reason for this is because they are good attackers. You shouldn’t bring your Queen or your Rooks out too early so you don’t lose them. You should also make sure what you’re going to do with your pieces when you move them. Don’t trade unless you’re getting a good deal or a very good position. Don’t forget to have a plan and a backup plan so you will always have the lead. Here are some strategies to beat your opponent. In the opening you are doing the first thing you need to do is take control of the center. You can do this by moving the 2 Pawns from in front of your King and Queen up 2 spaces, or you can move the Knights in front of the Bishop’s Pawns. Make sure if you take the center the Pawn way, you protect them with other Pawns or any piece. You need to always think about your moves, then use them to take another piece, get a better position, or get yourself on the way to checkmate. Easy Mates Some mates do not require a lot of pieces. Some are also very easy to learn and do. You know that the Queen is the best piece on the board, but it cannot checkmate the King by itself. If you have a King and a Queen left and your opponent just has his or her King, then you can checkmate your opponent by having the opponent's King on the rim and your queen above it guarded by the King. Another one is a four-move checkmate. The moves for this checkmate are White Pawn to E4, White Queen to F3, White Bishop to C4, White Queen to F7. There are quite a few moves that black can do to block this. You must be careful not to make a mistake or you could lose your Bishop or your Queen. There is also a two-move checkmate but both people must do certain moves. This is a checkmate done to white. This mate is 1. white Pawn to F4, 2. black Pawn to E5, 3. white Pawn to G4, 4. black Queen to H4. Checkmate. |
