Studying how pieces move is not enough to win at chess. Beginner chess players often lose interest in the game because they have no idea how to achieve a result. You should start by examining the strength of each figure. Then master the interaction of several of them. And only after that play with all the pieces.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn to checkmate with two rooks. Don't use your king. The opponent should have only one king on the board, no more pieces. Checkmate is a position on the board when the opponent's king is under the attack of your piece, it threatens him, that is, it prepares to cut it down. And he has nowhere to go. All the squares next to the king are occupied or are also under attack by your pieces. Since the king is not cut, this position of the pieces means the end of the chess game, that is, checkmate. If your piece threatens the king, but he has somewhere to go, this is not checkmate, but check. After him, the king leaves and the game continues. To see checkmate with two rooks, place the opponent's king on the edge of the board, on either side. And put your king on the opposite edge, he will not be needed. Now, with one rook, "cut" the enemy king from the rest of the board so that he can only move along the cells on the last line. For this, the rook must be on the penultimate file. And put the second rook on the same line with the king so that it threatens the king and keeps all the squares of the last line under control. This is mate. Just place your rooks as far away from the king as possible so that he doesn't cut them down in one move. Now place your opponent's king in the center of the board. Take turns in moves and achieve the position of the checkmate, which we have analyzed.
Step 2
Master mate with a queen and a rook. The conditions remain the same as in the first step. By analogy, first think of the position of the pieces in which the checkmate is visible. Then place the opponent's king in the center of the board and take turns making moves to get mate.
Step 3
Learn to checkmate with your king and queen. Your king will now actively participate in the game.
Step 4
Checkmate with king and rook. The rook cannot cope without the help of the king.
Step 5
Master the checkmate with two bishops. It's a little tricky, but you can handle it. The king also helps the elephants.
Step 6
Practice mating with your bishop and knight. This is the hardest option for beginners. The king is near.
Step 7
Try different combinations of shapes. Checkmate with a queen and a bishop, a queen and a knight, two bishops and a rook. Come up with different conditions to test the strength of the figures. Two knights cannot checkmate, even with the help of their king.
