Knowledge testing and Online
Play
Now that you have navigated your
way through the site and learned all of the necessary components to
playing this game, it is time to put your newfound knowledge to work.
Take the pieces and set up the board correctly. Now make an offer to
play a friendly game with someone who also knows how to play the game.
Keep in mind not only how to move the pieces but how to do so
strategically as well. Also keep in mind what your opponent is doing in
regards to how they are moving. In essence, don'g get so wrapped up
into your own strategy that you forget to play defense as well. Do not
just limit your play to face to face games with acquaintances. Sign up
for some form of online play as well. By doing so, you can gain insight
into the strategies of different players and learn as you go along.
Chess is a game in which you are never as good as you can be. The space
for learning and improvement is endless. For online play, simply google
"online chess games" and choose a site that works well for you to begin
online play.
