Steps

Method 1 of 3: How to win chess when playing

1. 

   Understand the value of each piece to protect them according to their respective level. The King is obviously the most important piece on the board, as you will lose if your King is captured. However, the remaining pieces are not merely a target for bullets. Based on the math theory and the shape of the chessboard, some pieces are more valuable than others. Keep in mind this hierarchy every time you capture a piece. For example, you wouldn't want to risk a high-value Rook just to capture the enemy's Code.
   • Good = 1 point
   • Code = 3 points
   • Statue = 3 points
   • Vehicle = 5 points
   • Queen = 9 points
   • Chess pieces are considered "resources". To win the flag, you need to grasp a resource of high value.

2. 

   
   
   Understand the goal of an effective opening move. The starting flags are the first moves of the match. They will determine the strategy and the overall stance of the game. The goal of the start was to develop units, which meant moving as many powerful pieces as possible out of their original position. You need to keep in mind the following points for an effective opening:
   • Bringing your Pawn to the center of the board, at the same time paving the way for stronger pieces to move. The most common and especially effective opening move is to put Pawn on a column with a King up 2 squares, then put a Pawn on the column with Queen up 2 slots - if this Pawn is not threatened after your first move enemy. The above plan would develop two Statues, increase castle speed, and create a strong defensive fortress if combined with the right moves - though the attack power will be reduced by a little bit.
   • Opening also depends on whether you hold black or white. Since the white will go first, the white side should focus on attacking and mastering the game. The black side should defend and wait for the opportunity, and should only attack when the white side makes a mistake and reveals a loophole.
   • Never move a piece twice, unless it is in danger and can be captured. The more pieces you move, the more your opponent will have to react to your move.
   • Keep these principles in mind and read through the list of great grandmasters' opening moves in modern tournaments.

3. 

   
   
   Think 4-5 moves in advance, use each move to arrange more complex attacks. To win the flag, you have to constantly anticipate moves, constantly putting out longer and more complex attacks to overwhelm your opponent. The first moves will set the entire match, as well as the basis for your first attack or help you control certain areas of the board. For starters, the best way to learn chess is to practice these popular opening moves:
   • Ruy Lopez is the classic opening method to help develop the Statue to attack. Give Pawn in column of King forward 2 slots, then give Ma to F3 (if you hold white pieces). Finally, push the Statue on the King's wing as far as possible until it is only one square away from the opponent's Pawn.
   • Opening the UK is a slow but easy to improvise method. Put Pawn in C2 forward 1 square, then continue to put Pawn in G2 to release the Bishop on the King's flank (if the black side moves to the center) or the Queen (if the black side moves to gather on either side ).
   • Take a risk Gambit King. Applied by many grandmasters, from Bobby Fisher onwards, this dramatic opening method can confuse many new players from the very beginning. You just need to move both Pawns in column King (E2 and F2) forward two squares in the opening move. The black side will usually attack early, assuming you have an opening, but your Good wall will quickly become a nuisance for the opponent.
   • please try Gambit Hau to control the chessboard center. The white side brings Pawn in column Hau to D4 to lure Pawn to black to D5. Then, the typical white side move in response is Good on the Statue column to C4. This approach pulls the game out in the middle of the board, and at the same time paves the way for Queen and your Statue to move.
     • Defense of France is an effective defense against Gambit Hau. When you hold black, start by bringing Pawn on King column to E6. The white side then usually brings Pawns in Hau column to D4, you will respond with Black Pawn in Hau column to D5. Thus, you have opened the way for the Attack Statue. If you eat a black pawn on the Queen's column at E6, the white side will leave the king open, thereby bringing Ma to C3. At this point, you can send the Statue to B4 to pin that Knight.

4. 

   
   
   Try a series of four checklists (aka "Scholar's Mate") to win the match almost instantly. This move can only be used once per player, because a keen player will detect moves and avoid being checked. Even so ,'s Scholar Mate is a great way to surprise new players and help you win games quickly.
   • If you have white pieces: Good in the column of King forward one square (E7-E6); Statue of the King to C5; Hau to F6; Queen to F2.
   • If you hold black: Good in the column of King forward one square (E2-E3); Statue of King wing to C4; Late to F3; Hau to F7.
   • Tame Scholar's Mate's: Put Ma on the block if you see an opponent using Scholar's Mate - chances are they won't sacrifice Queen just to capture your Code. Another way to use a fairly similar move is to have Queen stay at E7 right in front of your King instead of pushing Queen up.

5. 

   Control center squares to control the match. Your biggest concern when playing chess is controlling the center squares, especially the four center squares. From the center of the board, you can attack anywhere, while controlling the pace and direction of the match. For example, Ma has 8 moves if it is in the middle of the board, but in the adjacent squares there are only 2 moves. There are two ways to capture the central region:
   • Central supported This is when you gradually move your piece to the center of the board. Horses and statues support from the side, can advance and take troops if you get attacked. Usually, such slow growth is more common.
   • Side use is a modern gameplay for controlling the center of the board from the outside. Your vehicle, Queen and Ma will occupy both sides of the board, making the opponent unable to bring troops to the center without sacrificing their forces.

6. 

   Develop the chess pieces one after another. After making your opening moves, it's time to start building your stance. You need to send pieces to the best positions and leave their starting positions.
   • Except for a must, the best way is to move your pieces one by one. Don't move a piece twice, unless you need to defend against an opponent's surprise attack or let a fatal blow.
   • However, you are not required to move all units. For example, putting all the Pawns forward will not win you, because you are breaking the defense of your King.

7. 

   Learn how to cast. Castles are when you let the King jump over a Rook, effectively using the Rook as a barrier. You still have a Pawn in front of the King to protect. This is a very effective strategy, especially for beginners who are familiar with chess. To do castling:
   • Move the Statue and Ma (and possibly Queen) to open a clear path between the King and the Rook. Try to hold the positions of as many pawns as possible. You can cast in either side.
   • In the same move, bring Rook and King together; When they are next to each other, change the positions of the two pieces. If you cast into the king's wing, you will have a King in G1 and a Rook in F1.
   • Note that King and Rook cannot move before castling. If they have moved, you cannot castrate.
   • One factor that helps you win the flag is your ability to read the opponent's taste and not let the other player read you. Do not move the piece until it is certain it is the correct move.
   • In any case, you always need to plan a few moves ahead. More specifically, you need to know the range of moves of each piece you have in all situations and predict the opponent's reaction. This is a difficult skill to learn and requires you to practice.

Method 2 of 3: How to win chess with intermediate level

1. 

   Observe carefully the opponent's move. What pieces do they develop? Which side of the board does their play favor? Put yourself in the shoes of your opponent and find out what their long-term strategic intentions are? After determining the basics of your plan, you need to regularly adjust to the opponent's plan. When the opponent is holding their troops and placing them near the home field to prepare to attack, guess what their purpose is. Is there a way for you to stop or inhibit that plan? Are they dominating and forcing you to retreat to preserve their forces, or can you put pressure on the enemy?

2. 

   Know when to exchange troops. Of course you should trade pieces if it gives you the advantage, for example trading Ma for Queen, but things get more complicated when exchanging pieces of equal value. Usually you will do not want exchange troops when:
   • You dominate the battlefield, control the center, and develop your troops. The less total number of pieces on the board, the less advantage you have, the easier it is for opponents to defend against you.
   • The opponent is pushed or stuck in a corner. When you siege the opponent's pieces, it will be difficult for them to move or manage many pieces, but they will be free if the number of pieces decreases.
   • You have fewer troops than your opponent. Swap when you have more units than the enemy and the advantage of both sides is equal, you will also open new attack lines.
   • You cause the other party to be hit by a Pawn husband. Pawns are when a Pawn intercepts another Pawn, rendering both of them useless and interfering with the board on your side. However, you should make the opponent get hit by a Pawn after exchanging equal pieces.

3. 

   Develop 5-6 moves ahead at all times. Although easier said than done, you need a long-term vision if you want to win the chess regularly. Each piece you move should aim for three common goals. With these goals in mind, you can easily improvise complex sequences of moves to win the flag:
   • Develop many chess pieces (Xe, Ma, Hau, Statue) early and often. Take them out of the starting position to open up more opportunities for yourself.
   • Central control. The center of the board is the place where important developments take place.
   • Protect the King. Even if the attack is especially effective, you will still lose at the last minute if you leave the King behind.

4. 

   Instead of immediately taking advantage of our advantages, we need to wait for the opportunity to take advantage of them fully. Chess is a game revolving around the momentum of the game; Once you control the pace of your game, you need to maintain it. If the opponent is just passively reacting, often having strange moves and cannot attack, gradually weaken the opponent's force. Remember that you can win a trade, but you can still lose in the end. Do not choose moves that leave you open and counterattack. Instead, attack the opponent's defenses, control the center of the board and wait for the chance to strike a fatal blow.

5. 

   Learn how to pin pieces. Pinning is when you trap or hold a piece as a "hostage", putting the opponent at risk of losing if you want to use that piece effectively. This is a passive fighting way to control the game as well as your opponent. To pin pieces, observe the moving range of each piece. Usually, pieces with limited range are your best goal. Instead of attacking, you should place a piece so you can capture an opponent's piece - no matter how the enemy moves - and disable it for a certain amount of time.
   • Taking a piece "hostage" is when you give the opponent a chance to take your piece. In return, you can instantly grab enemy troops. The other person can take it or not - the point is that you are in control.

6. 

   Evaluate each move objectively. You need to observe the entire game board and evaluate every move you can choose. Don't move pieces just for the turn - spend time figuring out the best move for each turn. A good move depends entirely on the position, but you can ask yourself a few questions to determine if it is the right move or not:
   • Does this move make me safer than before?
   • Do I leave this piece, King piece or any other important chess piece open?
   • Can the opponent quickly put his chess piece in danger, forcing himself to retreat and "lose" a turn?
   • Does the move put pressure on the opponent and force them to react?

7. 

   Team up to eliminate enemy troops. Besides keeping control of the center, you also need to know how to coordinate attacks in groups. Your chess piece is like the parts in the orchestra, each with its own function, but only works best when combined. When removing an opponent's piece, you have more chances to check the king and decrease the chance of the opponent's King being defended. If you use 2-3 groups of pieces to support the attack of the enemy, you will retain the advantage of force.

8. 

   Protect the Queen at all times with a Statue or Vehicle. There is a reason why Hau is the strongest piece on the board, so there are very few cases when you should exchange Hau for another piece, even if Hau is exchanging Queen. Queen is the most versatile attacking piece and needs to be used for that purpose. Always protect and support Hau, as many chess players will sacrifice any of their troops (except Queen) to capture the enemy Queen.
   • Hau only maximizes effectiveness when supported. Instinctively, most players will be very wary of the opponent's Hau, so use Queen to lure the enemy into the battlefield of the Rook, Statue and Knight on your side.

9. 

   Don't let Good get in the way of your own Statue. Statues can attack from afar, so it is important to use the Bishop to control the board, especially early in the game. There are many opening chess strategies, but the overall goal is to quickly pave the way for high-value pieces to move freely.
   • Bringing Pawn to D4 / D5 or E4 / E5 will pave the way for the Statue to move and control the center squares. Xuat Tuong early, took advantage of the long range of the Statue to dominate, and at the same time developed Xe and Hau.

Method 3 of 3: How to win chess with advanced level

1. 

   Calculate the whole match right from the opening chess stage. A chess game usually has three closely linked stages. The best players always have 10-12 moves in mind and develop 3-4 strategies at the same time depending on the opponent's move. They know that moves and chess pieces exchanged at the beginning of the game will greatly affect the end of the game and plan appropriate improvisation.
   • Opening: This is the stage to decide the direction of the match. The first 4-5 moves will help you quickly develop your pieces and attack to occupy the center of the board. You can actively attack the enemy or defend and wait for the opponent to attack first.
   • Intermediate: This phase was merely set to end. You swap pieces, take control of the center of the board, and arrange 1-2 attack lines to strike at any time. Trading can be beneficial in the short term, but you must understand the impact of losing troops on your chances of victory.
   • Endgame: There are only a few pieces left on the board, each of which is exceptionally valuable. The raid seemed to be the most intense of the game; but in reality, the game's stance is already decided in advance: the player who "wins" the middle ground and has better resources often checks out their opponents.

2. 

   Priority to keep the Statue over Ma for the end. At the beginning of the game, Statue and Knight have equal strength. However, at the end of the day, the Statue can move faster on a relatively empty board, while Ma is still quite slow. Note this when exchanging troops - the Statue may not be as effective in the first place as Ma but will be a valuable asset in the end.

3. 

   Utilize the number power of Pawns on the empty board. Pawns seem useless, but they hold a particularly important position when the game comes to an end. Pawns can support stronger units, put them forward to put pressure on the enemy, and are an effective shield for the King. However, Pawns are no longer ineffective if a Pawn husband has pawned several times from the beginning of the game (i.e. placing two Pawns on the same column). Keep Pawns close together so they can support each other horizontally. When the board has very few pieces left, you will surely win if you push Pawn up and beat Queen successfully.

4. 

   Know when to try to tie. When you are inferior in units and find that you cannot check out your opponent with the rest, this is the moment when you try to draw. In chess competition, you need to be aware of the moment when you have lost your chance to win (eg when there is only one King, one Pawn and 1-2 more, the opponent is chasing you, etc.) and instead that switches to prime draw. There are a few ways you can reduce your losses and draw even when you seem to have run out of hope:
   • Projected infinitely is when you put your opponent in a position that makes it unavoidable for him or her to be screened. Note that the fact that you don't check your opponent's flags, they are not being checked, but you cannot avoid being checked into the next country either. This situation usually occurs when one side attacks the King for the last time, causing the opponent to be stuck between attack and defense.
   • Out of water: This is when the King of one side is not screened but has no other move but goes into the screened area. Since a player cannot voluntarily put himself in check, the game has a draw.
   • Water repeated or useless: If after 50 moves no pieces are captured or the King of both sides is not checked, you can request a draw. If two players repeat the same move 3 times in a row (due to being forced to move back and forth), the game also has a draw result.
   • Lack of force. There are a few situations where neither side can win:
     • Only two Kings left on the board.
     • King and a Statue vs. a King.
     • King and a Knight vs a King.
     • King and two Ma fight a King.

5. 

   Practice solving puzzles in your spare time. You can dramatically improve your technique without having to play chess with others. Chess games are pre-set chess games that require you to check off the opponent in just 1-2 moves. You can practice solving hundreds of puzzles in the book, on the computer (10 chess boards in Windows 7), or online chess. Gradually, you will learn great troop arrangements as well as surprise and dangerous attacks. While it is most likely that you will not come across situations that are exactly the same as posed moves, solving puzzles will help you develop your ability to see possible attack directions and placement. most effective flags.
   • Search the internet for a set of chess sets or read a book about chess tactics in the library, as these all have chess pieces for you to practice.
