How many times have you found yourself in a situation when you think your opponent has made a mistake? You look at the move and think “it must be a blunder”. You even know how to take advantage of it. Oftentimes, things are not as simple as they seem at first glance. In fact, some of those “mistakes” are not mistakes at all, but tricky moves. If you don’t understand the position well enough you may buy into it, ruining the game.
What should you do about it? Make good decisions – win more games!
By incorrectly interpreting your opponent’s move as a mistake you will make a mistake yourself the very next move!
In the first part of this video course, top American Grandmaster Alex Lenderman teaches you not to assume that your opponent’s move is a mistake, until absolutely sure. GM Lenderman provides many illustrative examples demonstrating this important concept.
He shares his own, personal thinking methods which help him at precisely identifying dangerous moments in the game and resolving it in his favor.
How Each of the Chess Piece Moves
When learning how the chess pieces move, we will continue working through the pieces from the outside in - rooks, knights, bishops, queen, and king.
Every piece in chess has a unique way of moving. The king and pawn also have special moves only they can perform.
Pawn - except for its first move, the pawn moves one square forward. On its first move, the pawn can move two squares forward.
Be careful when advancing your pawn two squares because it can become a victim of the en passant rule.
The en passant rule states that if a pawn advances two squares past an opponent’s pawn on the fifth rank, the opponent may capture it as if it had moved one square.
