OPENING CHESS PRINCIPLES THAT YOU MUST KNOW

Image
1.Center Control: It is very important in the opening to control the center with pawns and pieces. Moreover center refers to e4,d4,e5 and d5 squares 2. Develop pieces: Developing pieces refers to bringing out all the minor pieces into the game. Moreover, minor pieces refer to Knight and Bishop. 3. Do the castle as soon as possible: Try to castle as soon as possible. Castling not only makes the king safe but also brings rook in the game. 4. Don't bring out Queen too early: We all know that Queen is very powerful but in the Queen is very weak. Bringing Queen out in the opening only helps the opponent to develop their pieces with tempo. 5. Don't move the same twice: In the opening, you should not move the same twice unnecessarily. Moving the same twice is just a waste move. Note: The opening chess principles that I mentioned above are to be followed in most cases. However, there are some exceptional cases where you can break these principles.

Do you know how to do Checkmate with Double Rook ??

Double Rook Checkmate is one of the basic and easy checkmates among all the checkmates. Double Rook checkmate is also known as Lawnmover mate or  Bicycle Checkmate. There are mostly 3 important rules to follow for this type of mate. In this type , we mostly don't use the king to do the mate because we have both rooks on board. 1) Both rooks cannot be on the same file(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h) or same rank(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8). 2)Cut the Space with one Rook and try to give a check with another rook. 3)When king is attacking the rook then try to support another rook or you can move away far from the king in the same file or same rank otherwise king will move to that king. Checkmating with two Rooks is very similar to checkmating with the Queen and Rook. However, it may take a little longer to checkmate with the two Rooks because the King is able to attack them more than it can attack the Queen. This is the position you should be aiming for to checkmate the enemy King with two Rooks: The Rook conf

How to make good exchanges!! Each of the chess pieces has its own strengths and weaknesses. That is why the pieces also have different values. Since the chessmen will be traded at various moments in the game it’s important to understand the value of each piece. Knowing the value will help you make informed decisions and better understand strategies for winning. White can capture black’s knight, but in return black will probably capture your bishop with one of their pawns. Your white’s bishop can capture the black knight, but then black will capture your bishop with one of their pawns. When you capture one of your opponent’s pieces and they capture you back, that is called an exchange. Now here’s why exchanges are important.
