Review of chess game rules::How Many Pieces in a Game of Chess







Review of chess game rules::How Many Pieces in a Game of Chess








I               know               we               have               all               seen               strong               players               crush               someone               with               only               two               pieces               out               in               the               opening,               and               we               all               want               to               do               that               every               game.

Of               course,               this               is               impractical,               and               the               only               reason               a               chess               master               will               attempt               this               is               if               their               opponent               blunders               greatly               in               the               opening.

Quite               to               the               contrary,               any               decent               chess               master               will               tell               you               that               developing               your               pieces               is               of               utmost               importance.

This               should               be               done               before               launching               any               kind               of               attack               in               chess               unless,               as               I               said,               there               is               an               actual               mate               in               the               air.
               The               classic               advice               has               been               to               develop               the               knights               before               the               bishops,               and               there               is               a               logical               reason               for               this.

In               most               classical               chess               openings,               the               knights               are               able               to               put               more               pressure               on               the               center               from               their               natural               squares.
               However,               if               the               position               calls               for               it,               get               those               bishops               out!

You               see,               while               there               are               hard               and               fast               rules               to               chess,               how               you               open               is               purely               up               to               you,               and               is               sometimes               a               matter               of               taste.

If               there               is               an               enemy               knight               you               wish               to               pin               to               a               queen               or               king               with               your               bishop,               do               so.

Just               make               sure               there               are               no               sacrifices               in               the               air,               because               sometimes               those               pins               can               be               broken               by               checks.
               Development               is               important               in               chess,               because               in               order               to               attack               or               defend               correctly,               the               whole               army               needs               to               act               in               unison.

After               all,               it               is               very               difficult               to               defend               a               mating               attack               with               just               one               piece,               right?

It               is               equally               hard               to               launch               a               successful               attack               with               just               one               or               two               pieces               in               the               opening,               especially               if               your               adversary               knows               the               game               well.
               Try               and               get               your               bishops               outside               the               pawn               chain.

That               is,               to               squares               where               they               aren't               staring               at               their               own               pawns               or               pieces.

In               most               cases,               it               is               better               to               trade               a               bishop               off,               than               take               twenty               moves               or               more               to               break               it               out               of               a               mess               of               your               own               pawns               and               pieces.
               While               developing               the               knights               is               classically               best               on               the               f               and               c               file,               many               times               it               is               necessary               to               develop               them               to               the               d               or               e               file,               especially               for               black,               who               theoretically               is               defending               from               move               one.

Nbd7               is               a               book               line               in               many               black               openings,               and               can               actually               be               quite               sharp.

Play               the               position.
               Castling               is               part               of               chess               development,               and               should               rarely               be               overlooked               as               an               important               move.

If               the               queens               are               traded               off               early,               there               is               much               less               need               for               castling,               and               sometimes               it               is               even               better               to               keep               the               king               near               the               center,               preparing               for               the               endgame.
               In               short,               please               make               a               habit               of               developing               all               your               chess               pieces               before               launching               an               attack.

Get               them               out               there               where               they               are               effective,               make               plans               and               follow               through               with               them,               and               castle!

Remember,               just               because               there               may               be               14               book               moves               in               the               chess               opening               you               play,               does               not               mean               you               have               to               play               all               of               them.

Look               around,               watch               for               blunders,               and               if               you               can               end               the               chess               game               early,               by               all               means               do               so.
