Are you double pawns?

When you have double pawns that tends to lead to a weak game.  Double pawns is generally known when you have two pawns that are directly in front of each other.  This will result in an early capture.  Not only does it result in an early capture, but the double pawns will become the isolated pawns.  This means that your pawns will not be able to be defended by other pawns nor will the be able to guard.  So, if you have two pawns on the game board that are in the a vertical file and do not have the ability to have a guard with one another, then this major weakness will begin to haunt you towards the end of the game!

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?

Some people might not ever place chess before.  Here is a quick tip, the king is your fighting piece!  You will want to be sure and use it!

Wilhelm Steinitz, known as one of the World’s First Champion In Chess describes the king and always states to “USE IT!”   However, several people always think of the king as a generally liability.  It helps to protect you at any cost, but sometimes the cost gets to high you consider giving up your efforts.  When you have survived till the end of the game and you only have pawns that are around you will might reconsider and think about what Steinitz loves to state!  USE IT!
