Chess Fundamentals

  • Chess Board Orientation: Learn proper board setup, square colors, and the coordinate system (files a-h, ranks 1-8).
  • Piece Recognition: Identify each piece, understand their relative values (pawn=1, knight/bishop=3, rook=5, queen=9), and correct starting positions.
  • Basic Movement: Master how each piece moves—pawn's forward march and diagonal captures, knight's L-shape jumps, bishop's diagonals, rook's ranks and files, queen's combined power, and king's one-square limitations.
  • Game Objective: Understand the goal of checkmate and the difference between check, checkmate, and stalemate conditions.

Special Rules

  • Castling: Learn both kingside and queenside castling moves, when they're legal, and why they're important for king safety.

  • Draw Conditions: Learn basic draw scenarios including stalemate, insufficient material, threefold repetition, and the 50-move rule.

Basic Checkmates

  • Rook Checkmate: The technique for delivering checkmate with a single rook and king.
  • Back-Rank Mate: Recognize and execute this common checkmate pattern against an undefended back rank.

Opening Principles

  • Control the Center: Learn why the central squares (d4, d5, e4, e5) are crucial and how to contest them with pawns and pieces.
  • Piece Development: Understand the importance of developing knights and bishops early, connecting rooks, and delaying queen moves.
  • King Safety: Learn the basics of castling early and maintaining pawn protection around your king.

  • Pins: Understand how to immobilize enemy pieces by threatening a more valuable piece behind them.
  • Counting Attackers & Defenders: Develop the fundamental skill of evaluating piece exchanges by counting attackers and defenders.

Chess Literacy
