It is customary to divide a chess game into three parts - opening, middlegame and endgame. To win, bring pieces into battle faster in the opening so that none of them fall behind. In the middle of the game - middlegame - attack the enemy king with all your might. In the final stage, when most of the pieces have been exchanged, to help the rest, bring the king into battle to conquer the pawns.
Instructions
Step 1
If you know that your opponent is playing much stronger, negotiate a handicap. Otherwise, due to the obvious inequality of forces, the party will be of no interest to you or your partner. Handicap is the advantage that a weak player gets before the start of the game. Remove your partner's queen from the board and start the game. If you can win, use the rook as a handicap next time, etc. - until you learn to fight on equal terms.
Step 2
At the beginning of the game, capture the center of the board with your pawns. Most likely, your opponent will do the same, but at least one of your pawns must be on the center square. If you play with white pieces, fight for squares e4 and d4. When playing with black, the nearest targets are the e5 and d5 squares.
Step 3
Introduce "minor" pieces - knights and bishops - into the game as soon as possible. Place them in such a way as to control the center of the board. Playing with white, the knights can be brought to the c3 and f3 squares, and the bishops to c4 and f4. Do the same if your pieces are black. Another option is to attack the horses with bishops. If the partner has put the knight on the f6 square, bring the bishop to g5. There are other schemes of the game, which you will get acquainted with later.
Step 4
One of the key tasks is to hide the king from the opponent's attacks. Castling quickly to achieve your goal.
Step 5
Enter the remaining pieces - the queen and rooks - into the battle. Place them on open and semi-open lines, i.e. on files completely or partially free of pawns. These figures are called heavy, they need room for maneuvers.
Step 6
Avoid unprofitable exchanges of pieces and pawns. A knight or bishop is about three pawns in strength. If you give up a knight, but take three pawns from your opponent, this is an equivalent exchange. Likewise with the bishop - giving it up for two pawns is unprofitable. But you can exchange the knight for the bishop - the balance on the board will not be disturbed. The rook is approximately equal to five pawns. Therefore, you can give it up for a bishop and two pawns. The queen is approximately equal to nine pawns. It can be exchanged for a rook, knight and pawn, because 9 = 5 + 3 + 1. Carefully consider the strength of the pieces and do not make mistakes. The king's strength is not measured because he is not cut.
Step 7
Don't move pieces and pawns without a target. To checkmate the king, you need to direct as much force as possible in its direction. Solve this problem harder with each move, and your opponent will have a hard time.
