Introduction:-
Welcome to the fascinating world of
chess, a timeless and strategic board
game that has captivated minds for
centuries.
Chess is a two-player game that is
played on an 8x8 square board.
Each player starts with 16 pieces:
one king, one queen, two rooks,
two knights, two bishops, and
eight pawns.
The objective of chess is to
checkmate your opponent’s king,
which means putting the king in a
position where it is under attack
and there is no way to escape
capture. The game begins with
both players making moves
alternately, and each type of
chess piece has its own unique
way of moving across the board.
Chess Basics:-
1. Special Moves :-
Castling :- A king can make a special
move with a rook, known as castling,
under certain conditions.
En passant :- A pawn capturing option
that occurs under specific
circumstances.
Pawn Promotion :- When a pawn
reaches the eighth rank, it can be
promoted to any other piece (except a
king)
2. Stalemate And Draws :-
Stalemate :- If a player has no legal
moves and their king is not in
check, the game is a draw.
Draw :- Games can also end in a
draw due to mutual agreement,
insufficient material, threefold
repetition, or the fifty-move rule
 How Pieces move

King :- Moves one square in any

direction.

Queen :- Moves any number of

squares vertically, horizontally, or
diagonally.

Rook :- M oves any num ber of

squares vertically or horizontally.

Bishop :- Moves any number of

squares diagonally.

Knight :- Moves in an L-shape: two

squares in one direction and then
one square perpendicular to that.

Pawn :- Moves forward one square

but captures diagonally. On its first
move, a pawn has the option to move
two squares forward.
The Opening Phase
Center Control :-Players aim to control
the central squares (d4, d5, e4, e5) as it
provides greater mobility for pieces
and enhances overall board control.
Development :- Players strive to
develop their pieces (knights, bishops)
to active squares, typically toward the
center, allowing for greater flexibility
and coordination.
King Safety :- Castling is a common
priority to ensure the king’s safety by
moving it to a more secure position .

Opening Principles :- Follow basic

opening principles, such as avoiding
unnecessary pawn moves, not moving
the same piece multiple times, and
prioritizing piece development over
pawn moves.
Middlegames Strategies
Pawn Structure :- Assess and understand the
pawn structure. Di fferent structures suggest
various plans and weaknesses. Exploit
weaknesses in your opponent’s pawn structure.
Outposts :- Establish outposts for your knights
on squares that are difficult for your opponent
to challenge. This can provide a long-term
advantage.
Initiative:Seize the initiative by creating threats
and putting pressure on your opponent. Tactical
opportunities often arise during the middle
game.
Time Management:Be mindful of time
management. Use your time wisely to calculate
variations and make informed decisions.
 The Endgame
• King Activity :- In the endgame, the king
becomes an active piece. Bring your king into
the center to support your remaining pieces
and control key squares.
• Pawn Structure :- Pawn structure is crucial in
the endgame. Passed pawns, isolated pawns,
and pawn majorities can significantly impact
the outcome.Piece
• Coordination :- Coordinate your remaining
pieces effectively. Rooks should be
centralized, and minor pieces should support
each other.
• King Opposition :- In king and pawn endgames,
achieving opposition is crucial. This involves
placing your king directly in front of your
opponent’s king to limit their options.
