“God Save The Queen” an old saying..

Just like the old saying “God Save The Queen” it does not apply to the game of chess.  Many people tend to argue that by keeping your queen is the difference between winning the game or losing, there are other people no matter what you try to keep it is all about sacrifices no matter if they are painful.  People that are playing a game of chess try to help protect their queen throughout the whole game and never try to protect any others.  This could lead to a down fall within your game if you become over protective of your queen during the game!

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!

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!

Chess Main Equipment

In the game of chess there are several different features that you will want to be sure that you are familiar with.  First off, the main equipment that is required for you to be able to start playing your chess game is that you have a chess board along with the chess pieces.
