Learn Chess On Your Own – The Basics For Beginners
When people get to play chess for the first time, it is expected that they will be somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer complexity and volume of material they need to learn. And learning the basics is a challenge in itself. Well, if you’re a rookie and if you want to be successful, then you can – provided you prepare yourself mentally and emotionally. Learning a new skill is not always easy, but it is possible.
The very first step is to set up your board. Next, learn the basic moves, fundamental strategies and what the main aim of your game is. Let me to help you out in this matter. And I’ll try to explain things as simply as I can. I’m going to call this crash course the ABCs of chess. There’s a line that goes, “Simplicity is the essence of a genius.” I couldn’t agree more with whoever authored such line! So, here is the simple method I’ve mentioned earlier:
A) The Board: The chess board is composed of black squares and white squares arranged in alternating fashion. Eight squares comprise one row and there is a total of 8 rows on the board. By convention, you can’t arrange the pieces just anywhere on the board. At the commencement of the match, they should occupy the 2 rows nearest the player.
B) The Pieces: Although the pieces are, based on tradition, often termed “black” or “white”, they can actually be any colour. Each player is expected to have a king, a queen, 8 pawns and 2 pieces for each of the following: horse, tower and bishop. All pawns occupy the front row, while the rest of the pieces are arranged right behind the first row.
C) The Moves:
Pawns: They can advance two squares for the initial move, and advance one square thereafter. To capture the opponent, you can advance your pawn 1 space diagonally to either left or right directions.
The Rooks: Rooks can freely advance, move backward or glide sideways. However, they can only do so minus other pieces blocking their movement. No leaping over another piece is allowed.
Knights: Allowing your knights to take action is trickier. They move erratically - two spaces forward and one square to the right or left in an L shape.
Bishops: Let your bishops glide in a transverse direction on the chess board. As with the rooks, the bishops can move several squares per turn – if and only if no skipping of other pieces occur.
Queen: The queen’s moves combine those of the bishop and the rook. She can advance or retreat vertically, horizontally and diagonally, but she can’t jump over other chess pieces.
King: He can move one square in any direction: forward, backwards, side to side or transversely.
In all chess matches, the goal is one and the same: Secure your king and capture the opponent’s king. You’ll also wish to sweep the board of all your adversary’s other pieces too, or as much as possible. Although your first few matches will not be as good, you can increase your competence match after match. Switching from basic to advanced chess is a gradual process. Good luck!
