Chess is one of the most popular two-person strategy games originated in India centuries ago. To win this fascinating intellectual game, you must move your pieces so that the opponent becomes a "checkmate." In other words, your pieces must threaten your opponent's King, so there is no escape. But chess is more complex than it seems, and although you can learn the basic rules as quickly as possible, you must use ingenious strategies to defeat powerful and skilled opponents.
Teaching chess pieces
The various pieces found on the chessboard can seem confusing and complicated, at least on the surface. But there is no need to worry, and once you know what each piece looks like and how it works, you can start the game quickly. However, if you have experienced playing chess before and know how each piece works and where it is placed on the ground, you can skip this part of the chess training article.
Pawn
The soldier is the best option to start learning chess and its pieces. This is the most straightforward piece in the chess game, and each player has 8 at the beginning of the game. On the initial move, the soldier can move forward one or two spaces, but from the second move onward, he is allowed to move only one space. If the opponent's pieces are placed in the opposite space, the soldier cannot move forward; on the other hand, he cannot hit the facing pieces. You can only hit the pieces in the opposite diagonal spaces with the soldier.
The soldier is the only piece that cannot move backward and, similarly, the only piece that hits enemies in a different way than its normal movement. When the soldier reaches the eighth "rank" (for the white player) or the first rank (for the black player), he can replace it with a better piece. In the front parts of the article, we will talk more about the rank and promotion system of soldiers.
Rook
A rook sometimes called a "castle" (but not to be confused with the "castle" move in the game), resembles a short tower. This piece can move horizontally or vertically in any available free space and can hit the opponent's pieces on their way.
Knight
The knight, or as they call it in English, is the most complicated piece in the game of chess. This bead moves in the shape of the letter L, so when it moves, it can go forward two vertical spaces and then one horizontal space, or it can travel the opposite of the same path as two horizontal spaces and one vertical space. The horse is the only bone that can jump over other bones (inside or outside). But the horse will only be able to hit pieces that are present in his destination space.
Phil (Bishop)
The elephant can only move diagonally, but instead, it can move to any extent within the available spaces and remove the opponent's pieces in front of its path. Since the elephant only moves diagonally, one of the elephants stays on the white squares and the other stays on the black squares.
Minister (Queen)
It is the most powerful piece on the chessboard and is usually identified by the feminine crown on its head. The Minister can move horizontally, vertically and diagonally, as much as the player wants, and he will be able to hit the opponent's pieces from all these directions.
King
This piece can only move one space in any direction in each turn, and it will be able to hit the opponent's pieces in the same way. That is, the chess king placement is not passive. You always want to win this piece, but at the same time, your opponent will never be able to hit your king piece. In the rules of chess, you are not allowed to move your King into the "Kish" position. A kish occurs when an opponent can hit your King on their next turn, but there is still a way for the King to escape. When your opponent places you in the kish position, you must immediately change your priorities and get the King out of danger. The game ends with "kish and checkmate" (when there is no escape for the King).
Important points to remember about chess pieces
• The crown is precious, and you must protect it under any circumstances.
• The Minister is considered the most flexible and can effectively play the support force for other forces. The Minister has the capabilities of the Elephant and the Rook simultaneously, and after the King, it is considered your most valuable piece on the playing field.
• Horses are an excellent option for surprise attacks. The horse's movement pattern is often overlooked by novice players and confuses them.
• Elephants perform the best outdoors. But many novice players underestimate elephants and do not make the most of their potential.
• Faces are robust vertebrae with a great range of motion.
• Soldiers may seem unimportant, but they are a great option to trap your opponent and bring more valuable pieces into play. If you get the soldiers to the end row on the opposite side of the field, you can "upgrade" them to a better tile. If you play the game correctly, you can even kill and checkmate the opponent's King with the help of only one pawn.
