 Things to Remember When Implementing your Chess Strategies?
             
      There are many chess strategies that can be learned and implemented in your game but always remember once your opponent knows your strategy he usually can block these quick strategic moves. This is why the game of chess is a mental game where you should see the board as a blue print or diagram. In your mind play out different scenarios for  the next three moves at a minimum. Never go for the kill if it looks easy because it is usually a trap. Chess strategies will be implemented from both sides, but the strategy thought out the furthest will usually win. You must learn how to implement chess strategies by trading a chess piece and getting several pieces in return. These are thought out strategies that you map out in your mind waiting to trap your opponent.

      Your main objective of the game is to strategically use your chess strategies to acquire your opponents chess pieces as effectively as possible. Remember to use your pawns sparingly because they will leave your King vulnerable without needed protection. Each gap your pawn leaves allows an strategic opportunity for your opponent . Each chess piece has its own style of moving. You will make your moves to vacant squares except when capturing an opponent's piece. The placement of pawns should be moved precisely because they cannot move backwards. With the exception of the knight no chess piece can jump over another piece. Once a piece is captured it is removed from the board and your chess piece occupies the square.

 Here is a list of your chess pieces and their functions:

Pawns - Can move forward one or two squares on the first move, but then only one square at a time vertically. The Pawn is the only piece that can capture different from the direction it moves. A pawn captures in the two spaces adjacent from the space directly in front of it.

King - Can move in any direction only one square. The King is allowed to do a special move only once with a Rook known as Castling.

Queen - She can move in any direction as far as she wants as long as the spaces are unoccupied unless she is capturing a opponents piece. The Queen is a players dominate chess piece, and after losing her most games are lost.

Bishops - Move in a diagonally direction any number of vacant squares.

Rooks - Move vertically or horizontally any number of vacant squares. It is used in castling with the King.

Knights - Move in a L-Shape pattern two squares vertically or horizontally then one square adjacent either side forming a L. The knight is the only piece that can jump other pieces.

Fool’s Mate - Move king’s pawn from E2 to E4. Then move the king's bishop diagonally  F1 to C4 to the right.  Your bishop is now in position to attack your opponent's bishop's pawn at F7. Your nest move is your Queen from D1 to F3 putting her in position to attack the same pawn. When taking your opponents pawn at F7 on your next move it should be checkmate if you performed it correctly. That is if your opponent didn’t see in coming.
