Usually a sign 'of imminent defeat. if -j Notation. stands for King, for Knight, for Queen, R-for Rook, for Bishop, for Pawn. The hyphen indicates a move, the a capture of a piece and the numbers the position on the board. Thus, B-Q2 indicates that the bishop has which has fallen out of line and requires a piece to defend it, a dangerous waste of power.

A passed pawn is one that has pushed past its opposite numbers and thus has a good chance of being queened. As forces are whittled down toward the end of a game (called, with fine precision, the endgame), the meek pawns and king are apt to turn suddenly into important agressive forces. Simplifying out of trouble. All chess notators love this phrase, which means deliberately exchanging pieces in hopes of cutting down the enemy firepower should it be getting too concentrated for comfort. It is a useful device but can be a plexities introduced by his younger opponents, repeatedly took the sting and vitality out of his games by simplifying.

It was a pathetic parody of his earlier style, which though superbly simple was also precise and deadly. Fianchetto. -A bishop is placed on the N2 squaret-so that it is trained on the long diagonal. First systematically used by the Englishman Howard Staunton, it was an early form of positional play, still popular today. The draw.

In formal competition you get a half draw can be a weapon, but until modern times it was considered just a little bit ungentlemanly to seek it deliberately, like not accepting the offer of a sacrifice. Once the mighty Emanuel Lasker, Prince of Foxes, played Carl Schlechter, known as "The Drawing Master," in a tournament. Schlechter needed only a draw to take first place. Incredibly, in a spasm of good sportsmanship perhaps, the Drawing Master played for a win. After a tremendous and famous struggle Lasker finally beat Center Opens At 'Nyssa A een "The service center, housing ment of Human Resourcesi It century, for he found in the pawns a means of turning a chessboard from a site of unrelated skirmishes into a true battleground.

Good players set up their pawn structures with care and fight to keep them stable, like a string of mines across a harbor through and around which the pieces flow. Ideally, these pawns all defend each other. A backward pawn is one will be a subsidiary of a main service center scheduled to open next year in Ontario.

Furthermore, as in football, you need a special language to talk about it. Here is a little course in that language. Checkmate.

The object of the game is to checkmate the enemy king; that is, to be in a position where you are about to move one of your attacking pieces onto his square and he can't prevent it since he is unable to move into or remain in any piece's line of fire. It is good to remember that chess, probably of ancient Persian origin, represents a war between two kingdoms in which two armies consisting of infantry (pawns), cavalry (knights), fortress outposts or armored elephants (rooks), political intriguers and fifth-columnists (bishops) and a general (the queen) fight each other to get at the opposing king. Though the armies may be decimated, the king itself never is actually killed but is captured, rendered immobile. The center. All chess strategy has to revolve around the center one way or another.

Once you control the center, you can pivot to either enemy flank, and usually the very first moves of the game, with the center pawns, are tempts to concentrate force on those four central squares. Sometimes a player will deliberately freeze the center, jamming pawns in there so nothing can get through, and then mount a flank attack. But he must still watch the center for counter-pressure. Openings. For centuries, players have been trying various ways of developing, or playing, their pieces quickly to form a coherent attack.

Books have been written that simply list hundreds of opening variations. Serious players memorize many of these, saving much time in match play. Often they are named for their inventors or for regions where they were first fashionable. Openings are very much a matter of fashion. One of the earliest recorded, the 16th-century Ruy Lopez, made a comeback after generations of neglect.

(It is rather as if the Los Angeles Rams revived the old Statue of Liberty play.) But it works, for new lines of play have been discovered following the characteristic first three or four moves of this opening. There are openings called "defenses," which offer a good reply for black, which plays second, in a given situation. There are openings called "gambits," which involve sacrifice of a pawn to obtain advantage in territory but which are almost unknown in modern chess where the tiniest weakness will be exploited instantly. Open or closed game. Different openings have different purposes.

Many that start with the king's pawn, for instance, lead to a fast, brutal, "open" game with pieces being exchanged right and left. Bobby Fischer almost always opens with the king's pawn when he has white. On the other hand, many queen-side openings lead to slower development, subtle webs of power, slow, strangulation. Combinational or positional play. Paralleling the open and closed game are two contrasting styles of play.

The combinational is essentially tactical featuring a -house-of-cards effect that often begins with a surprise sacrifice. The positional is basically strategic, where a player may actually sacrifice a piece just to gain access to a given square, or to open a vital diagonal for his bishop or file for his rook, or to provoke a weakness in the enemy 's pawn structure. Strong and weak squares. WUhelm Stainitx, an early world champion who was also one of the game's great thinkers, developed a theory of strong and weak squares, but all you need to know for now is that if a player has lost -his white bishop, for example, or has several pawns frozen on M.D. TOILET Twi but i if.
