How to Play Chess: The Basics
In this piece I'm planning on sharing with you some of the fundamentals of chess to help understand how the game is played and 1 or 2 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. When you get the courage to play your first game, then your second, then your third you'll start to find what playing style you are comfortable with and start dominating your opponents.
Now let's get into a couple of the basics.
The Rules of Chess
Chess is a 2 player board game, one player plays with white pieces and one player plays with dark pieces. Each player begins with 16 pieces and take turns moving one piece at a time everywhere.
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 principal objective is to trap your opponents King this may not be the case every game. There are a pair other ways in which a game can end:
- One way is a stalemate where neither competitor can checkmate the other OR when one players king is Not in control but is trapped in such a way that regardless of where he moves he would be putting himself in check which is not a legal move.
- Another form of stalemate is when both opponents have captured all of each others pieces Excepting their kings. This is a stalemate because 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 behind why you shouldn't ever quit a game is actually because you never know what can happen and all it takes is ONE mistake from your competitor for you to totally take over the game.
One fast tip to recollect is whoever controls the center 4 squares controls the game and is in a stronger position to attack. So keep this under consideration when you play your first game.
One thing I learned extraordinarily early in my chess career was to always be attacking and defending. This means you usually wish to attack your adversary while still protecting your pieces. If you can keep your contestant retreating then you are in good condition.
Now I inspire you to go and play your first game. There are plenty of places where you can play against other newbies players. One of the more well-liked places to play is at chess.com.
If you do not feel comfortable playing your first game and feel you need to learn 1 or 2 more things I'm going to chase up this draft with with a couple more articles like how to line up the board correctly and how each piece moves.
