3. CASTLING

The king must be kept safe at all cost if it is attacked then it must move out of danger immediately and if it cannot be made safe then the game is lost.

Castling is a special move by the king and rook which makes him(king) safer from danger. It does not imply that the king is completely safe from attacks but has a low chance of been attacked. This is the move that allows the king to move two squares than the required one square. It is the only time in the game when two pieces are moved simultaneously. Two squares (for the king) and Two pieces (king and rook)

At the beginning of a chess game there is usually a battle for the centre of the board, therefore it is a good idea to move the King from the action to a safe place in the corner and to move the Rook to the middle of the board where it can take part in the battle. Castling allows you to do this.

Castling isn't only done at the beginning, it can be done at any point of the game. Especially when you sense an attack on the king.

There are two forms of castling
*The king side Castling which occurs at the king side
*The Queen side Castling which occurs at the queens side

its a new feature implemented by the NL management. once you click on report we get a notification about the post in question but if you unreport the notification goes away.

ohhh i see

But then how would you know what exactly the report is about? or why the person reported the post?

you guys just get a notification and you just assume or what?

Don't you think this new feature might be abused?


sorry for my many questions but that's just me.

what exactly is the purpose of this thread?

hoodboy:

Adesiji77:
You are not alone on this. Been wondering too...

Don't worry Master Seun will explain to us after he wakes up from sleep

yes browsing through nl today and i saw some very silly post that needed urgent attention

i clicked on the report button and then instead of another page to show up, so i can make my complaints i see the report button change to "un-report"

What is the function of this new feature?

if we make a report how do you know what the complaint is about in particular?

why "un-report" why report a person in the first place if you are still gonna "un-report" what is the essence?

oga of this forum, seun please answers

BTW to derail a bit, i think we also need a FAQs button both for guests and members.

you can not delete a thread on nairaland....

just erase everything there and put a full stop

Benedictus90:
She already did for dead again na

really??

link please

Nigerians don't appreciate good things just two pages

Anyways i love Asa but to be sincere i expected something better, like a story or something.

I don't get the concept, feels like the video was rushed and no time to think of something tangible. This reminds me of Sia's titanium video which was somehow off. Thank God i listen to that song before watching the video.

She tried but not impressed....


She should think of better concepts in the next video she's gonna do. I would like to see a good video of "dead again" and "society"

To demonstrate how to write down this moves

The moves are written in two numbered vertical columns like this:


1. e4 d5

2. exd5 Qxd5





The first column is for the White moves and the
second column is for the Black moves.

1.e4 d5
white plays his pawn to e4 square(1st pic from white's view)
black plays his pawn to d5 (2nd pic from black's view)

2. exd5 Qxd5
White's pawn on the E File takes black piece on d5 (3rd pic from white's view)

Black queen takes white's piece on d5 ( Last pic from black's view)

When capturing....

The ' x ' symbol is placed in between the two components of the move. i.e in between the piece symbol and the square of the piece that is been captured.

Example: Bxc6 . This means that the Bishop has
captured a piece on the c6 square. Which is the knight.

picture below to confirm.

remember the same rule for movement also applies when capturing

it is possible for us to have two or more of the
same pieces which can land on the same square.
we have to identify the square it is moving from
to the square it is going to to.

in the pic below either the rook on the A file or F file can take the Queen on c1.

e.g Raxc1 meaning that the Rook on the A file captured the piece on the c1 square.

For Pawns, the file of the attacking pawn is used
in place of the piece symbol. i.e the file of the pawn that wants to capture.

Example: exd5 . This means that a pawn on the e
file has captured a piece at d5.
