I downloaded chess on pc chess Lv 100, its level is from 1-100. I've only checkmated level 1-4 in rating mode, that one there is no hint and undo in rating mode. Its also difficult for me to checkmate in level 5 because i really don't know the movement of the king.

King ain't supposed to move but should be protected by all means, and should only be moved when necessary.

i know how to castle, but the 'root' is what i don't understand.
You mean the ROOK , Well the Rook is supposed to be with the King always, and should be moved only when it's absolutely necessary, and try to get your rooks positioned at the center.

En Passant is simply when you make a capture after a pawn is moved two squares forward from its starting position.

So for example, when you move a pawn as White from e2 to e4 and you pass a black pawn sitting at d4 then Black can capture your e-pawn en passant because you passed it.

The opposing pawn can capture it the same way, as if it had only moved one square forward. After it is captured, the chess position is the same as if the pawn had only moved one square forward.

This chess rule applies only, if the pawn has not moved before during the game and is still sitting on its original square.

See pic

White pawn moves 2 square forward and black move to the black square diagonally and picks up the white pawn that moves 2 squares

Thanks bro

Fifty move rule occurs if you or your opponent moves any of your pieces 50 times without any capture. The game ends in a draw. Some rules says 15 moves instead of 50. So rules always changes,

Threefold repetition the threefold repetition rule means a player can claim a draw if the same position occurs three times, or will occur after their next move, with the same player to move. The repeated positions do not need to occur in succession. The idea behind the rule is that if the position occurs three times, no progress is being made.

Samething applies to fourfold repetition, but 4 moves instead of 3.

Thanks jare, for the enlightenment

how come the King has 9 points and i heard that pawns are as important as any other piece in the game.

I guess it's because the King is the most important piece in the Board
Re: CHESS - For Beginners & Pro's. by Rick9(m): 11:08pm On Dec 18, 2017
Collinz2:
Have you guys notice computer sometimes castle quickly, are they really protecting the king or just making the two rooks and the queen comes closer together making em poweful.
I guess they are trying to protect the King and the same time trying to control the centre
Re: CHESS - For Beginners & Pro's. by Rick9(m): 11:09pm On Dec 18, 2017
Sherifastro:


I think the king has 9 points because it has same power as the queen but limited distance, i believe its because it the most important piece and also the main aim of the game.,

As for the pawn, the reason they are as important as any other piece in the game is because of promotions. every pawn is a potential queen. So to me apart from Queen pawn is the next important piece, i dont just loose or sacrifice my pawn unless am certain i will capture a rook, knight, or bishop.

So correct

Even me I was shocked, well when they promoted a pawn to Queen I used My Queen and Bishop to start attacking the King, and I checkmated them.

I Happy eh

Thats why you need to occupy and control the middle before your opponent does. But careful so you wont cause yourself trouble.

This is wrong o, the reason some people loose is because they don't know how to use kings as weapon.

Learn how to use your king, his 9 points is not just to sit on throne.

Best defense is the best attack. Hide your king as quickly as you can. But when the game is so much interesting try to give your king one breathing space and start thinking deeply with any moves your opponent makes.

Mehn honestly in chess eh, I am so scared of Knights,

If my knights have been captured and my opponent knights are still in the board I start to tremble.

Knights are just so destructive the way they jump pieces

Oh! What do you think we've been saying before about knights? They are dangerous and destructive! If not for the queen's multiple moves, it would have been following the knights at the back.

If your knights are captured early, it will take your expertise to win that game. In my opinion o, they are the baddest!
