Welcome to the more
Techniques page. Here you will learn more
about chess and skills.
The Power of the
Pawns: It is much more difficult for your opponent to defend
against different approaching attacks than just one large
one. If you are on a battlefield and have a
limited number of troops, it is easier to defend when the enemy comes in
one large
group. It is much more difficult to try and
defend against multiple fronts.
When to
Castle:When castling
you also need to be sure to keep your front
line of pawns in their place to provide that
added barrier to help protect your king. These pawns also work as guards
for
your king and maybe other pieces. The pawns
will help guard the bishop and knight Think of your king as being the
most valuable
and weakest piece on the board.
Develop your
Pieces: You
should always develop your pieces as fast as you can in order to play a
good opening and a good middle game.If
you keep your pieces back your opponent will
be able to over power you. Also you can't leave your rooks back hiding
in their
hole. If you find yourself doing this, then you
need to change.
Gambit: Typically in a gambit it is a pawn that is
sacrificed, but there are times where perhaps a bishop
or knight is the piece that is sacrificed in
the gambit. The idea is that the player who sacrifices something gains
something
in the process such as time or active piece
play. Let's look at the Danish gambit as an example. In this white loses
two pawns,
but is able to place bishops at an advantage
looking to your opponent's kingside.
Doubled up Pawns: When your
opponent has doubled up pawns you should give yourself a little
advantage by blocking there pawns with
one of your pawns. If you don't do this their
pawns will be part of their attack because the two pawns are covering
up four
squares.
