 - - Basic Chess Training - -I made this thread to show you, how i have learnt chess myself and how i teach chess to others. 1 Fact is clear to me and that is that understanding the basic and knowing the basics is the basis of good chess.. It is like riding a bike once you learnt how to ride, it stays with you in all the years after and you do not even have to think how it works you just know. So how will this work ? well that is the easy part you just have to answer questions that are very simple, and once the answers come to you whiteout thinking then the basics are part of you. The best way to learn that is to repeat it over and over again, but only before you start playing a game and set up a board. ( it is even better to ask the questions to your opponent.) Ok time to start. ( and consider this if you do not know the answers whit in 1 second then the you do not know the basic like riding that bike. ( i will consider you a beginner)) diagram 1 ( the board) - How many squares has a chess board. ? diagram 2 ( the board) - The right corner and the left top corner are what color. ? -- The answer on this is important wen you have a chessboard whiteout coordinates. I have no time left to go further so i add more during the coming week. |

-- Basics -- The Bishop The questions are simple again, and the answers even simpler. But you have to know those answers in a split second. So keep practicing. * The bishop moves only over diagonal lines * The Bishop never changes his color a bishop on a black square always moves over the black squares. >> Remember that because over a real board it happens sometimes that the bishop end up on a different color by mistake. ( see that mistake) * the Bishop basic value is 3 points but sometimes it will be less and sometimes it will be Worth more. ( this depends on the situation on the board and the place it is standing ) * That means that you have to give your own bishop a value, and that value is most important wen you want to exchange or trying to improve your position. diagram 1 ( the Bishop) - How many squares is the bishop covering. ? diagram 2 ( the Bishop) - How many squares is the bishop covering. ? diagram 3 ( the Bishop) - How many squares is the bishop covering. ? diagram 4 ( the Bishop) - How many squares is the bishop covering. ? diagram 5 ( the Bishop) - How many squares is the bishop covering. ? diagram 6 ( the Bishop) - How many squares is the bishop covering. ? diagram 7 ( Value ) - Black has forked 2 pieces with the same basic value, witch one is best to take.? diagram 8 ( Value ) - Black has the opportunity to capture a white bishop! Considering the value witch one is best to take Bishop A or D? * So what have you learnt from this about the Bishop ? * What have you learnt about the value ? * Dit you know the answers for every diagram in less then 2 seconds ? ** If not exercises this until you do, even better wen you teach it to someone else.. (Tip: a teacher learns quicker and better then a student. So even if you are a beginner teach it to other beginners) (Extra Tip: it also works with homework teach your own homework to your class mate and you will have a better score then the one you teach it to.) |

Thanks for the clarification. Diagram 1 - The bishop is covering 8 squares, but it also covers an entire diagonal. Diagram 2 - The bishop is covering 10 squares as it moves toward the center. Diagram 3 - The bishop is covering 12 squares as it moves a square closer toward the center. Diagram 4 - The bishop is covering its maximum of 13 squares as it now lies in a center square. Diagram 5 - The bishop is covering just 7 squares as it is positioned against a file's wall. Diagram 6 - The bishop is covering just 7 squares as it is also positioned against a file's wall. Diagram 7 - The bishop has the greatest value in this instance because it has the black king in check. Diagram 8 - The black rook should capture the d bishop as lies in center square thereby covering more squares. |

Ah Jim answer for Diagram 1 2 and 3 are wrong answer for diagram 3 5 6 and 8 are correct answer for diagram 7 the king is not there so the check is not the reason for the higher value the board coverage of the bishop is. |

A small slip by ... When setting up skeleton positions, though, it is worth the compiler to note carefully where the kings are. Given that in the diagram the Black King was in check, and tennesseehiker observed this, his answer was correct - the capture of the knight was not legal. However, given that as placed, in general the bishop iwould be the more active piece - longer ranging, and closer to the centre. But on an open board, one would probably take the bishop anyway, even in this situation: w The knight is the more centralised and is pretty active; the bishop off to the side. But the latter can centralise itself in one move, so is still the preferable capture. (By the way, more advanced readers with some ideas on retrograde analysis might be wondering why the rook the previous didn't take whichever of the enemy pieces was at that time 'en prise'...) Reverse the pieces in easy19's diagram: b Now which piece ought Black to take? For mine, I would still take the bishop, but I'd probably take more than 2 seconds to decide! Why? You always have to take into account what's happening on the rest of the board. This is why tennesseehiker was correct in his answer to Diagram 7. Consider this: b Which piece ought Black to take? What considerations influenced your decision? I hope, Freddy, that you don't take this posting as too much of an interference... Cheers, Ion |

No Problems here Ion The thing is that i din,t wanted the kings to be on the board at all.. and because i have not learnt to teach this with the kings on the board in this beginning stage of my teaching it is harder for me to get things explained as i want it to be.. But the main idea of this is as you all could guess is that the importance of pieces by placement and board coverage can be valued in just a second(s) this should become a how should i call it (a sixths sense) or just as common as riding a bike you just can ride it just because you learnt it once.. -- next post will be about the Knight |
