Chess Game - How to Play (part 2) - Tactics and Strategies

Hi Steemians! This is the second part of "How to play Chess". After learning the basics rules you must differentiate tactics and strategies. Although these two concepts are related, we need to distinguish between both.

The Strategy

Before starting a game, you have to represent you the battle plan, the type of approach you will adopt. This is a long-term vision of the game will progress.

The Tactics

Tactics to defend from the sporadic attacks of the enemy but also to achieve our long-term strategy. These are short-term technicals

In conclusion, we can say that the strategy is the art of organizing and leading a chess while the tactical part is rather the art of directing the battle or the means employed to successfully overcome his opponent. So, the strategy will instead focus on the planning side while the tactical operational side So always keep in mind that the two are distinct but yet they remain totally inseparable since no effective tactic exist without the development of a coherent and consistent strategy that no strategy can successful without the implementation of effective tactics.

Protect Your King!

To defend his king rather effectively, the rules of chess gives us a very important technique to know and use: CASTLING. I have already spoken of this technique on my first blog here is the link: Chess game - Discover the game - How to play - Basic rules. However castling is very important in the game. You MUST know this move!

The Forks (la fourchette)

The most classic technique than any chess player has to put into practice, no matter his level of play remains the fork. It consist to place a piece in a place where threatens both simultaneously.
Fork with a knight

Fork with a pawn

This kind of multiple attack is particularly interesting since it guarantees you to win a piece on the next move, unless of course your opponent reaches you to checkmate.

The Pin (Le clouage)

To immobilize a piece. This is to defeat a piece that can not move otherwise put up for checkmate greater piece yet. In the following image for example the black knight is tacked by the bishop. Indeed, if it's moved, it will be the black lady who will be threatened.

Only pices that can move a long distance, ie the lady, tower or bishop, can be used for pin technique.

Scholar's mate (Le coup du berger)

you can achieve it once but your opponent will not allow take a second :) In chess, the scholar's mate, shows the weakness of the f7 pawn is the only early in the game, only to be defended by the King. By attacking twice, with the bishop placed on c4 for whites, and the lady placed on f3 or h5, it is possible to checkmate on the next move by taking this piece.
