Chess....

Chess is a two player board game with 64 squares.  Basically chess is divided into three stages. They are Opening, Middle Game & End Game. Opening reflects the strategy and the strength of the player. If the players opening is weak, the player can be mated within 2 or 3 moves. T his is called as a fools mate.  If the Player is good in his opening he can successfully enter into his middle game. Middle game entirely depends on the strategy, combinational motives, sacrifices, attacks, defense the player organized.  Middle game requires a lot of combinational knowledge and skills.  Once the major and minor pieces are exchanged, the games comes into ending.  Though there are many endgames with minor pieces and major pieces, mainly ending means with the pawn play.  The Player shall be strong enough to convert a pawn to a queen, if not he will loose the game. Also the player shall have the knowledge to play in the open structures, closed structures & semi open structures.
