Now you have your new carved chess set, you will want to start developing and improving your game.
If you want to win at chess, the important thing is always to be able to see further ahead than your opponent. Some specific advice to bear in mind is:
· Attacking will give you the advantage.
· Don’t make things too complicated for yourself and use your chess set pieces economically
· A threat made has more power than carrying it out will do.
It is important to always keep in mind the relative value and individual strength of each of your chess set pieces. You should take note of the following:
· The King is the most important piece, on which the result of the game depends. It is vital to keep the King out of range, in a place of safety.
· The Queen is a powerful piece and should not be made vulnerable by a too hasty sortie.
· The Rook is a strong piece and, by being placed behind a pawn, can be used in the middle game to support the pawn and help it advance.
· The Bishop is of lesser arithmetic value than the Rook but dynamically superior to the Knight. The beginner should avoid exchanging a Bishop against a Knight if it is not essential.
· Beware that the Knight is the piece often handled the least well by players of all standards.
· Look after your Pawns - each sacrifice is likely to add to the dynamics of the game and your eight infantrymen are not an inexhaustible army.
