CHESS OPENINGS

Chess openings are basically a series of moves to start the game. Openings are divided into three sections Open Openings, Semi Open Openings, Closed Openings. Open Openings are the Openings which will start with King Pawn and Semi Open Openings start with either queen pawn or side pawn openings, at the last closed openings start with knight pawn openings or fianchetto structures.

Chess game mainly is depending on the centre four squares namely e4, d4, e5 & d5. If any of the player has the greater control on these squares that player has an enormous advantage.  In the game above all a player will always targets the King of the Opponent.  If king is mated, the game is won; so a player shall always be mindful of his king, for every pawn move the player shall calculate the threats and forecast the plans of the opponent and his hidden moves.

In open games we can see the centre pawns will be exchanged and both e-file and d-file will be open where queen will be facing the queen and king will be facing the king without any pawns in the file.

CHESS PIECES

In a complete chess set we can find the below pieces:
Chess pieces are mainly divided into two colours as it denotes two armies fighting each other. White & Black

1. King - 2nos
2. Queen - 2nos
3. Bishop - 4nos
4. Knight - 4nos
5. Rook - 4 nos
6. Pawn - 16nos

Movements of the Pieces:
Pawn: Pawn can move ahead one or two squares in the beginning and later it can move only one square. If any pawn or piece is ahead to it, its movement is restricted and it can capture opponent's pawn diagonally.  Pawn can capture any piece knight, bishop, rook and queen diagonally. Though it is of the least power, when it reaches other kingdom, the player have the right to decide its power by promoting it to queen or knight or bishop or rook basing on the position. A pawn once moved cannot be taken back or it cannot move backwards.

Bishop: Bishop can move any number of squares forward, backward and it will capture in diagonal way. In open positions Bishops are very powerful and on long diagonals they are very effective.

Knight: A knight can make its movements in L shape, it can hop 3 steps from its current position. First 2 steps straight ahead and the third step it will take diversion either to left or right. A knight is very powerful in the centre of the board and in closed positions.

Rook: Unlike knight and Bishop, Rook moves in a different way.  Rook moves in horizontal or vertical direction. It can move any number of squares in horizontal or vertical direction. It can capture any of the piece that is on its way.  Rook is very powerful in open game.

Queen: Queen is a combination of Bishop & Rook. It has both the features of Bishop & Rook. It can go diagonally and it can go horizontally as well as vertically.  A queen in the centre board can cover upto 27 squares.  Queen is the major piece in the board and it covers many squares.

King: All the pieces combine together to save the King. King's power is unlimited and as long as the king is alive match can be continued.  If the King is captured, the game is lost.  King can move one square in any direction.

Unlike other games, chess has one good feature or option that if both the players are strong enough neither wins but the game is a draw.  In many games we cant find a draw but in chess we can find a draw. 

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.

Good Morning!

Today I shall go to church by 9:00am, I believe I can see you some other time.  Everything is going fine by God's Grace.  Let me glorify God in every situation, whether it is a trial, trouble and difficult time or in my happiness....

For 2 days I went to Advanced Excel Training, though it didn't benefit me as I expected, but I got refreshed with the training session.  Now I became confident in certain areas in Excel.

I remain for now & God be with you...

After 2 days of excel training, today am coming to office. Oh a lot of work is pending, from morning am trying to complete. Trying to improve my excel knowledge.  Everything is as usual...

I will write something about chess after sometime...

That which is ahead.....

These days we can hear from many that they are weary or tired or fed up of small things. Many are not willing to accept the failures and many cant digest failures but only a few people will try to learn from their failures.

If we are weary and tired for small things, what about the road ahead....Our future is ahead, whatever we have crossed and journeyed through is nothing before what awaits for us.....

Though we cant count our days and we do not know what happens tomorrow, we always try to think of our future....

Hi Everyone!  Today I have Excel Training and hence I would request my readers to be patient. I can only write something possible tomorrow.  I have something to write about the media today.  The media now a days is leading the Youth to destruction almost. Telecasting much of its time some programs that spoils the youth and the society. Mainly I observed the Indian Channels telecasting some unnecessary programs like Bigboss, Lovenet, Emotional Atyachaar, Dare to Date..Though I never watch these programs, my friend has the habit to watch all these programs. 

Many times I am proud that am an Indian because of the Indian Traditions. Now majority of the traditions were passed away, like joint families, festivals, marriages and many other. Now everyone is thinking that western culture is the best, but many cant understand that the Holy Books like Bible & Quran are strictly commanding men to have their own wife and women to have their own husband.  These media channels came up and projecting all immoral things dating, having premarital sex, gay, lesbian are acceptable. Apart from all these things some movies came up and raged children towards love and immoral things. These movies are becoming inspiration for children that they are diverted from what they are....??? Instead of becoming a responsible citizen, many are becoming a criminal, burglar, theif, robber or a rapist.

Many a times the mistake is of parents, who are not guiding their children, who are not suggesting their children regarding their dressing, their make up, their attire, their culture...Sometimes punishment is necessary..........

I would request everyone who visits this blog to let me know some interesting topics.....

My Blog

In the beginning of the blog, I dont know what to write but I know to write without spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes. I just said to myself, just be confident and believe that you can make.  Though it may look foolish for some but you might refresh some by reminding them of their past achievements. Hence I started to continue my blog.....

First of all, to write something I shall read something.....Now I will strive to enrich others knowledge, so that I will elevate myself...

CRITICISM....

First of all whatever the situation is, though it is our mistake we dont like criticism and people criticising us. Hans Seyle says "As much as we thirst for approval, we dread condemnation".  TWO GUN CROWLEY a notorious criminal of the United States writes this before he was caught by the Police “ Under my coat is a weary heart, but a kind one – one that would do nobody any harm". 

We shall learn not to criticise rather to motivate them that they will never make such mistakes again!  In 1842 Lincoln published an anonymous letter in springfield journal against a politician named james shields. James shields was so frustrated looking at this and people were in laughter after reading this journal at Shields. Shields was defamed through this incident and Shields challenged Lincoln for Duel Fight till death. But Lincoln refused to fight but Shields provoked him through many ways, at last Lincoln agreed for a duel fight. 

The day arrived for the duel fight but their seconds (Trainers) convinced them, then Lincoln learnt a very good lesson "Never criticise anyone for anything, we are what they are under those circumstances".....Sharp criticisms and rebukes end in futility....

Above all relationships are like bank savings, the more liberal you are with your friends the more savings you can......This principle applies with friends, children, parents, relatives and others. When it comes to children we shall treat them in a different manner and when in comes to adults it shall be projected in different manner....

Finally we shall tame our tongue and try to control our words this is the conclusion.  Many of us know this thing, since we have read this in our moral science, in many famous people's autobiographies and many times we have heard this yet we do the same......

A bad habit can never be erased but it can be replaced with a good one........
