Kore Chess

It is a well-known fact that the game of chess is a thinking game, and calls for deep and logical thinking on the part of the players.

Chess is no doubt a very easy game to learn, and any person can get an idea about the game, the pieces, the unique movements and the simple rules in not more than a couple of hours. But the real challenge lies in playing the game well, gaining expertise and saying “checkmate” as frequently as possible or at least not hearing that golden word of “checkmate” from the opponent.

Why is it so difficult to win in a chess game? The answer is simple. It is not in your hands, however skilled and expert you may be. A victory in a game of chess is only an accident and not the logical end result. The logical result in the game of chess played between two players of even capability is nothing but a draw.

Thus, one can say with confidence that as long as you, as a player, is determined not to gift the game to the opponent by ensuring that you do not make any mistakes, the opponent cannot claim victory over you. Hence, it is apt that we call victory in the game of chess an accident, than a logical outcome.

This unique feature of chess makes it so fascinating and challenging that even after 1500 years, the game is still popular and reaching out to the masses, thanks to the contribution of the Internet in the form of Online Chess.

How can one avoid making mistakes in the game?

Well. It needs a thorough understanding of the game and application of serious and logical thinking. One should think the pros and cons of each and every move, visualize the move, and finally take a decision.

One of the foremost things one should bear in mind while playing chess is to ensure that all of your pieces are well protected and are safe from the attack of the opponent. A loose piece, for example a pawn, left unguarded in the fourth rank and beyond (for white pieces) is an invitation for trouble, unless it is not a part of the tactic or trap to make the opponent make a mistake.

A golden rule, which is often not followed, is that every player should move each of his pieces at least once in the early part of the game before moving that piece for the second time. This is easier to say but very difficult, if not impossible, to put it in action. One should be aware of this golden rule and should always strive to put this rule into practice without neglecting the positional impact of the pieces in the board.

Having a fair, if not full, control over the center of the board should be one of the targets for any player. If one were to have some sort of control over the typical squares of e4, e5, d4 and d5, then it would make it easy for him to have better advantage over the board, as he can easily switch the line of attack from the king-side to the queen-side or vice versa. Without control over the center of the board, movement from one side to the other might not be feasible.

It would always be advantageous to use the castling option and move the king to safety. Not only will the King be at a safer place, the rook will get activated and can play an active role in planning an attack over the opponent. Thus, one should take advantage of the feature of castling as early as he can in the initial stages of the game.

By ensuring that these tips are followed and also thinking more than once before making a move, one can eliminate the possibility of making mistakes and in the process, do not allow an opportunity for the opponent to say “checkmate” to you.

Our beloved “King of Pop” Michael Jackson said that “It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white”. These lines were recognized around the world. But most of the time, we heard these lines in the game of chess. There are a lot of old folks in chess and moving first is one of these. Many players said that moving first is an advantage in the game. But for some, it remains a BIG question mark. As a follow up question, is it true that moving first is an advantage? Well, let’s find out in this article.

Chess is indeed the game of smarts. For over 1500 years, it’s really good to know that chess was then played all over the world up to now. The game involves mental concentration and serious thinking. However “first move advantage” in the game remain unchanged. Traditionally, chess is being played by two opposing humans. Regardless of skill, the first move advantage plays an important role in the game but not all the time.

As a player who enjoys being on the attack position, white is always be the best choice. Obviously, he has the queen’s pawn openings so he can launch a powerful attack against black as he wishes. Besides, the white can easily dictate and control the game easily. Let’s say for instance, you have the idea that you opponent mostly play using the Sicilian Defense which is usually on P-K4. Instead of using his favorite move, he will be forced to shift with other moves because you’ve did a counter attack against him.

Statistics shows that white more often wins against black. There are also online chess game reviews stating that white has an estimated 2% advantage over black. As expected, many chess players argue in this fact as this is just a so small that can’t even affects the game. Likewise, most players do not worry about the first move advantage as both sides have equal number of chances in moving chess pieces.

Apart from statistics, there are individuals who protest that present of the first move advantage in the game. One is Andreas Adorhan. He’s a grandmaster and an author of several books regarding first move advantage. Actually, his book entitled “Black is ok” The black pieces play more aggressive than white pieces. This book concluded that first move advantage does not totally affect the flow of the game. Whether you are playing black of white, it depends on how you manipulate your armies. Besides, even you’re playing using the first move advantage psychological factors still affect the flow of the game.

Bottom line, it doesn’t matter whether you play black of white. As long as you know how to deal with your moves and your opponent, first move advantage is regardless. Chess is a complex game. Every move has a vital role to play in order to get an excellent end result. But then, there are also moves that dictate the flow of the game. There are few chess openings that may result to similar end game but it is impossible to have similar middle game. As long as you are an expert player, it’s ok to be black. And whether what color of chess pieces you choose, your game depends on how you play.

There are actually lots of games that come our way if we are only willing to explore our minds and be ready to experience the goodness that is given to us by God.
