Chess Club 2013 begins!

We've started a new session and we have looked specifically at what two things are important when beginning the game:

  • Work to control the center.
  • Make sure your king is safe. This is usually done by castling.
  • Develop your pawn structure.
We also reviewed the difference between check, checkmate and stalemate. Don't forget that a king can never be right next to a king because a king can NEVER put himself in check!
