CHESS

Chess is a recreational and competitive game played between two players. Sometimes called Western Chess or International Chess to distinguish it from its predecessors and other chess variants, the current form of the game emerged in Southern Europe...

The game is played on a square chequered chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight square. At the start, each player (one controlling the white pieces, the other controlling the black pieces) controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove it from attack on the next move.

Here are some fairly easy "lessons." Those relatively new to chess should play though the introduction to chess and the section on chess strategy just below.

Feel free to explore the site. By clicking on the links just above, you'll be able to learn about chess tactics, chess openings, and even view some of the greatest chess games ever played!

The first step in chess is learning the opening, while other parts of the game are important having a solid opening that avoids traps and creates equality is key in being competetive. Our article will teach you the fundamentals, but the best way to learn is of course to play. So enjoy are article and find a game either with some friends or online.

So now you ask, I've moved my center pawns what do I do now? The next step is to develop your minor pieces. The recommended move order is to develop your Knights first, usually to f3 or c3 as white and f6 and c6 for black. Taking on these squares are key moves because they develop the Knight and immediately fight for the key center squares (e4,e5,d4,d5). Now for developing your other minor piece the Bishop. My preference is to always develop my kingside Bishop first, the light squared bishop for white and the dark squared bishop for black. This allows you to castle on the next move if the Knight has also been developed. Generally I always ponder four thoughts before I move my Bishop.
