The Weakest Link…

Are you the weakest link in chess?  I would hope not, but in the game of chess there are a piece called the pawn.  It is considered one of the weakest links.  The pawn is limited to their own movements.  You are only allowed to move the pawn piece in a forward movement, it can not be moved backwards.  So, be sure when you move your pawn piece that you are moving it in the direction that you are wanting it to be moved in.  So is your pawn piece one of the weakest link during your game of chess?

The Queen has entered the room…

In a game of chess the queen has been considered the most powerful and awesome piece in the game.  The options that you have with the Queen are almost unlimited!  You are capable of moving in any direction vertically, horizontally, diagonally, whichever direction you prefer with your queen piece.  Not only can you her in any direction, but you can also move to as many squares as you would prefer.   So, just remember in your game of chess the that the queen is capable of almost everything possible, so make sure you are keeping your eyes out for the best move that she is capable of allowing you to make!

Why does my knight keep winking at me?

Why is that knight keep winking at me while I am playing my game of chess?  He has something up his sleeve I believe! 

A knight is generally the easiest piece to recognized.  You will notice that it is the knight piece because it looks the the horse.  The knight piece is capable of moving around in some of the strangest places and patterns.  The patterns that it can move are sometimes difficult to begin to explain; however, some people tend to describe it as it is making an L-shape.  The knight is also the only piece that is able to make a jump over another piece.  So, when your knight piece begins to wink at you take the leap!

Unlimited Moves In The Game Of Chess

While playing the game of chess there are unlimited amounts as to how many time you can move.  It is just all depending on your opponent’s decisions. 

Just like all the other moves in the game, the first or opening moves are very important.  Every piece of chess moves in different directions:  the bishops can be moved in any direction as long as it is diagonally and any number of spaces; rooks can be moved horizontally or vertically and any number of spaces as well; the queen on the other hand can be move to various spaces horizontally, diagonally, or even vertically; however, the king can only be move to one square, but it can be vertically, diagonally, or horizontally; the knight can be move in the shape of an “L”, for example: one space vertically and then two spaces horizontally – also being able to jump over those occupied squares. 

Each player must protects their own pieces from the king of their opponent.  If your king is taken out, then you lose and the game is over!
