THE QUEEN (FIRST LADY)


The[b] Queen [/b] is the[b] most powerful piece [/b] in the chess army. She combines the power of both the Rook (straight lines) and the Bishop (diagonals) as illustrated in Diagram #1. The Queen can reach a maximum of 27 squares in all directions. Imagine a long-range weapon being able to fire accurately in all directions!

While the Queen can bring destruction to an enemy position, she is also to be protected. In the open board the queen is powerful, but in crowded positions, she can be assaulted and even trapped by lesser pieces. When capturing an enemy piece, the Queen captures the piece by moving the piece and taking control of the square. In Diagram #2, you can see the power of a centralized Queen and it far-reaching abilities

Best positioning of Queen

The Queen's power is clearly realized in open positions, and because of its scope, it is always a threat to inflict serious damage on the opponent's position. One caution is do not to abuse the power of the Queen by moving it within the first 4-5 moves. Develop your minor pieces (Knights, Bishops and Rooks) first! Quick checkmates rarely work and will leave your Queen dangerously exposed. There are many traps lurking at the hands of minor pieces which can often gang up on the Queen. Three or four well-coordinated minor pieces can easily overpower a Queen. So be careful with the Queen!

Some of the best positions for the Queen are those that support or strengthen the minor pieces. This is called a "battery" just like someone battering the door down. In Diagram #3, you see the Queen can conduct a battery by supporting the Bishop and the doubled Rooks in an attack on the f7-square by moving to the f1-square. The Queen is sometimes better placed behind the minor pieces. A more devastating battery would occur if white moved its Queen to the a1-square attacking the defenseless g7-square. In Diagram #4, this well-known position demonstrates the Queen working with the knight on g4 to form a devastating battery on the white King. A battery is one of the first tactical themes learned by most beginners.

THE BISHOP




The Bishop is likened to a laser… it slices across the board cutting through everything in it's path. Each Bishop stays on the diagonal color of its origin and combined can control every square on the board. As you develop more knowledge of the game, you become more familiar with the power of two coordinated Bishops.

The Bishop on the d5 square reaches all sides of the board along the h1-a8 and a2-g8 diagonal. In Diagram #2 the Bishop can move as far as there is nothing in it's path. If there is an enemy piece in the Bishop's path, then it has the option of capturing it. Those black pieces marked in red can be captured by removing the selected black piece and replacing it with the white Bishop.


Best positioning of Bishop

Bishops are often used as weapons for attacks on the King because of their long range power and the ease at which they are able to free themselves. In Diagram #3, the Bishop on g7 has been placed on one of the longest diagonals and cuts the board like a laser beam. This is called the "fianchettoed" Bishop and is demonstrated in Diagram #3. Perhaps the "dream position" for Bishops is when they are on adjacent diagonals exerting tremendous power on enemy positions. The white Bishops in Diagram #4 are said to be "raking" the board.

THE KNIGHT



The Knight is the ultimate martial artist of the chess board. It's tricky movement makes it a devastating weapon to an unsuspecting opponent. The piece resembles a familiar animal, but it should not be referred to as a "horse," or "horsie." The knight is the only piece that can jump over other pieces and moves in an tricky "L" shape. Its movement is one of the hardest for opponents to deal with because of its ability to attack in so many directions (at close range). To illustrate, look at the two diagrams below.


You may notice that the black knight on e4 can reach eight squares (c3, c5, d2, d6, f2, f6, g3, g5) The black knight can reach these squares in a combination of "2 and 1" or "1 and 2" movements. This means 2 squares horizontally or vertically and then 1 square to form a right angle, or 1 square horizontally or vertically and then 2 squares to make a right angle. This movement makes the famous "L" shape.

Best positioning of Knight

The knight has more power when placed toward the center of the board. In Diagram #2 above, the black knight on e4 can reach eight squares while the white knight on h7 can only reach 3. Remember, "knight on the rim is grim." In terms of capturing, the black knight is attacking pawns on f2, g3, c5. It is also attacking the white queen on c3 and the white rook on d2 thus "forking" the two pieces. When capturing, the knight does not capture pieces in its path… only on the square on which it lands.

The "dream position" for the knight is the opponent's sixth rank supported by one or two pawns. In the diagrams below, both knights have taken up dominating positions on the opponent's sixth rank… the white knight on d6 and the black knight on d3. This position of the knight disrupts the flow of the enemy's pieces while attacking the maximum amount of squares.

THE CHESS MEN- THE ROOK


The Rook is a very powerful piece and it is sometimes called a castle (because of its looks). It is known in the medieval days that powerful cannons were fired from the top of the castles to keep invaders away. Thus, in Diagram #1, the rook attacks in a straight line either from top to bottom (vertically along files) or side to side (horizontally along ranks). In Diagram #2, the black rook can move as far as there is nothing blocking its path. The black rook can capture the white pawn on e2 or the white knight on g5 by removing the piece and taking control of that square. However, the rook cannot jump over the white knight on g5 to capture the white rook on h5.

Best positioning of Rook

The rook belongs on open files and ranks for swift movement. Rooks are best placed toward the center of the board because the central files usually open up very quickly. In addition, it is good to have rooks "doubled" on the same file or rank to strengthen the attacking power. In Diagram #3, the two rooks have a powerful attack along the e-file. In Diagram #4, these same rooks have reached a "dream position" and are now doubled along the 7th rank threatening to capture all of the black pawns. Incidentally, there is something called a "super-Rook," but let's hope you never need one. More on that later.

[b]This method of identifying squares is used when keeping score and is called algebraic notation. In this notation each piece (except for the pawn) is identified by a letter. The King="K" Queen="Q" Rook="R" Bishop="B" Knight='N". For example, the move "Nf3" means the Knight will move to the f3-square. Feel free to view the following game to get an idea of the board and how the notation works (Thompson-Blood, 1874).

Look at the initial positioning of the facing armies. Two important rules should be learned here. The board should be positioned so that the white or lighter-colored square is always on the lower right-hand corner. In addition, always remember to place the queen on her color… light queen on lighter-colored square and dark queen on the darker-colored square. Remember, "white on right… queen on her color."

Each chess game starts with two identical armies of contrasting colors. The lighter-colored army is considered "white," and the darker-colored army is considered "black." In these armies, each distinct piece has a function. The movements will be described in more detail in following lessons. Below is a chart giving the value of each piece.[/b]

HOW TO PLAY CHESS BASIC RULES

The chess board is made up of 64 squares in contrasting colors. The chess board is divided by eight horizontal ranks (from numbers 1- and eight vertical files (from letters a-h) so that each of the 64 squares on the board can be identified. The board also has diagonals (from h1 to a8 for example). In the first diagram below, the e4 square is a light-colored square intersecting the 4th rank and the e-file. In the second diagram, the a7 square is the dark-colored square intersecting the 7th rank and the a-file. This square has a pawn occupying

Introduction

Welcome to the wonderful world of chess!! Chess is a fascinating activity enjoyed by millions across the globe and has been played for more than 1400 years. You may ask, "Why do people like chess so much… isn't chess boring?" Not at all!! Some are attracted to the excitement of combat occurring between the chess armies on the board. For me it was because of the mental challenge and yes, the excitement! I attended a large Chicago public high school with 100 trash-talking players in the chess club so it was easy to get excited.

To the uninitiated, chess seems to lack action, but this is not the case at all. Most sports emphasize physical movement and scoring points in some fashion. In chess, there is no tallying of points during the game, but the object of the game is to attack and trap the opponent's king such that it cannot escape danger or "checkmate." Scoring in chess is based on one of three results: win (1 point), draw (½ point), and loss (0 points

Chess is not very hard to learn. After being amazed at two friends playing at night under a lamp, the next morning I picked up an encyclopedia and began learning the moves. It only takes a few hours learning the rules properly. What's a few measly hours in exchange for a lifetime of enjoyment? Chess is unique combination of warfare, art, science, and sport making it enjoyable for people of all ages, ethnic and social backgrounds, and personalities. Contrary to the media's erroneous "nerd" image of chess players, there is no set profile… not even close. Whether you're new to chess and would like to learn how to play, or you already know the rules and would like to learn more, please study the lessons below. Enjoy!!![/b]

BEAUTIFUL FEMALE CHESS GURU S!

CHESS IS NOT JUST AN ORDINARY GAME, books on chess opening can fill up the entire world library!!

tRoOE:

@chessguru
But you slept with her knowing damn well she was old
You knew her intention in de 1st place, right from when she 1st approached you, u saw all the signs but still decided to ignore it.

All these young bobos sleeping with sugar mamas, just remember someone else will be sagging ur mothers very soon, and don't get mad when that happens [/size]

i was out for my little adventure and it was my choice (then)VERY WELL, AND I don't REGRET IT, Every body has a past!! yesterdays reality is not todays reality, i can call my self a decent and polite young man at present , i don't smoke, i don't drink i don't womanize!! WHAT MATTERS TO ME NOW IS THE PRESENT AND FUTURE!! the past is dead, only usefull for what i have learnt by exp[erience!![b][/b]i don't think any sugar mummy can get me with a million dollar now, apart from the fact that i earn a graet living with my own sweat, AM AN ELIGIBLE BACHELOR LOOKING FOR HIS BRIDE, waiting to accept responsibility to take care of a youg queen!!

[quote author=cooldud62* link=topic=179241.msg2923380#msg2923380 date=1223643453]with your ruy lupez, i would still have won my friend,
1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 Nc6
3.Bb5.
you end up castling, leaving the e porn? so,

when i said your e4 was a weak opening, you think i didnt know what i was saying?
What i intended actually worked because according to you, you are not at your best!
you were waiting for a mistake where there can't be anyhaaaaaa
you don't know the chess you are playing friend!
kasparov once won a guy with his action when he was almost loosing
know that game?
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i know the king's porn e4 opening move is not bad! It controls the center, opens lines for offiders and usually leads to an open game in which tactics, rather than slow maneuvering, predominates! I would have preffered slow maneuvering so a winner would have emerged! This opening mostly lead to queenless which makes a game last for long!

the Royal game!


with my move
25 ------- g6, If your next move is
26 Q X h7 then i play Kg5

If i predicted your moves right, you can copy all and start from 27.
hope you doing fine@work? Takia.[/quote]i will continue, soonest, still at work, look your analysis is not accurate at all, i did not have a weak game here, as you can see from begining to the end you had noattack at allAND THE BEST YOU CAN GET HERE IS TO TRY FOR A DRAW , so with e4!! i had nothing to worry about as i dictated the pace from start to end!! ,

@post
  Nice post but, you should have written it in a more polite manner, the name calling was needless, How said goes to show ones level of maturity, ANYWAY NICE POST, MANY OF THOSE SAT PICTURES ARE NEEDLESS AND SHOULD NOT HAVE A PLACE ON THE BOARDS, I AGREE WITH YOU!!

@ NIGERIA01
 i BELIEVE YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO VIEW YOUR OPINION ON NAIRALAND, but this can be done by writing it out in words, then drop a link to your site or any where that those interested can go and view the images (if interested) outside the forum!! thank you.
