10 Tips to Become a Chess Champ

chess player looking at board

To master chess strategies and become a chess champ, it’ll take lots of learning and practice. Here are 10 chess tips to get you started.

LEARN THE CHESS MOVES

Each chess piece can move only a certain way. For instance, a pawn moves straight ahead but can only attack on an angle, one square at a time. A knight’s move is L-shaped. The bishop moves at an angle but can move more than one square at a time. The rook (castle) can move only in a straight line but can go forward, back or to the side. The queen, the most powerful piece, can move in any direction for any number of squares, but not two directions in one move. And the king moves at a stately pace — as a king should — one square at a time in any direction on the chess board.

OPEN WITH A PAWN

Move the pawn in front of either the king or queen two squares forward. (Only on its opening move can a pawn move two squares.) This opens pathways for your bishops and queen to enter the game. They move on an angle and can’t get out onto the field of battle if pawns are in the way.

GET THE KNIGHTS AND BISHOPS OUT

Before you move your queen, rooks or king, move your knights and bishops toward the center of the chess board. You want to get these pieces out from behind the pawns so they can attack.

WATCH YOUR BACK!

And front! When it’s your turn, always think to yourself, “What did my opponent’s last move do? What is he up to?” Is he laying traps to capture your pieces? Then decide on your own plan. Always look at all your possibilities. Look at moves that would capture your opponent’s men or threaten his king first. But always double-check your moves before you play them. Ask yourself, “Does my move leave something unprotected?”

DON’T WASTE TIME

Don’t make too many moves with your pawns or try to pick off your opponent’s pawns.

“CASTLE” EARLY

Castling is a move that allows you to move your king to safety and bring your rook into play. Once all the squares between your rook and the king are unoccupied you can move the king two squares toward the rook while the rook moves to the square on the the king’s other side. If your opponent neglects to castle, you might be able to launch an attack on his king. This is the only chess move in which more than one piece may be moved in a turn.

ATTACK IN THE “MIDDLEGAME”

After you’ve brought all your knights and bishops into the game and castled (these moves are your “opening”), the middlegame begins. In the middlegame, always be on the lookout for ways to capture your opponent’s men. Take any chess piece that your opponent doesn’t protect. But look at what will happen to your piece if you take his — will you get picked off? Always be looking for ways to move lots of your men into position to attack the enemy king.

LOSE PIECES WISELY. IT’S AN ESSENTIAL CHESS STRATEGY

You’ll take some of your opponent’s pieces. Some of your pieces will be taken. You must figure out what is and isn’t a good swap in chess. This is one of the most important chess strategies.

Use these points to figure out whether you’re making a good move if you’re going to lose one of them:

  • Queen: 9 points
  • Rook: 5 points
  • Bishop: 3 points
  • Knight: 3 points
  • Pawn: 1 point

So is it a good idea to lose a bishop to save a pawn? No!

DON’T PLAY TOO FAST

If you see a good move, sit on your hands and look for a better one. Patient thinking is the key to chess success.

WIN THE ENDGAME

After you and your opponent swap pieces and you’re down to just a few men, the endgame begins. Now the pawns become more important. If you can advance a pawn to the farthest row away from you, that pawn becomes a queen. A big success! Let your king attack, too, as long as he stays out of reach of your opponent’s remaining pieces — especially the queen — and does not let himself to be checked.

Your king is said to be in check when your opponent threatens to use one of his pieces to capture the king on his next move. If your king is checked and you have no way to remove the threat — it can’t run away, you can’t capture the opposing piece that has him in check and you can’t block the check by moving one of your own pieces — the game is lost. Checkmate! If you checkmate your opponent before he checkmates you, then you win!

By using these chess strategies and tips, you’ll become a chess champ in no time!

    • amazing

    • tip: save your bishops and rooks for the endgame, also if your opponent threatens your bishop or etc, threaten their bishop or etc, and this will most likely make them rethink their decision of taking your piece and they’ll try and protect their own piece or pieces.

    thank u

  224. These are very basic tips. Also inaccurate in one very key point: your pawn does not have to become a queen if it reaches the top row. You can choose what the pawn should become. There are many examples of historic games that were won or lost because the incorrect option was chosen for the pawn, for example chosings a queen where a knight would have served better.

  261. The tips are very very helpful.

  262. play against the computer–at least level 5. you’ll lose almost every game, but you’ll develop an intuition for the game. openings, theories, development can only get you so far. it comes down to intuition and playing superior opponents. this is what will make you better. chess, like golf, can only be a fun game for most. enjoy it and do realize that you’ll never be a master chess player no more than you’ll ever be a master physicist. the game is just too complex for the average mind to master. enjoy!

    I’m getting better and better now that I know your tricks… so easy 😊 thank you.

  276. extra tips:
    use your queen in the beginning wisely so you can take out a lot of pieces and so you can get a quick checkmate

    use pawn chains as a good offense and defense; pawn chains are pawns set up diagonally because they can attack diagonally

  277. i need pro tips

  278. BAD

  279. so easy

  280. Any cannot play with me easily.Thank you for teaching me tricks.

  281. Wow. I never knew what “check” meant until reading this. But is it mandatory to say it? On other words, can you “ckeckmate” (capture the opponent’s king) if you didn’t say “check” right after the previous move? Hmmm.

  282. I can now get to beat someone at chess. Thanks.

    GOOD

  329. So useful

  330. helpful

  331. Fantastic tricks

  332. Very nice but why to castle early as the Queen of the opponent has a chance to checkmate. Please answer.

    • You’re right. When you castle to the left especially, its very dangerous but it can be avoided. Before you castle, make sure your opponents queen is not in the way. After castling, you need to pay close attention to ensure that there are no pieces heading towards that direction. And if your opponents queen gets closer to the direction of your King, move the pawn in front of your king one step forward. That move protects the three pawns, your king and castle. When that is done, chase your opponents queen away with your other pieces to avoid any secret attack.

    • someonefrom496 // August 4, 2018 at 3:48 pm // Reply

      Try using a different tactic, and look for openings to attack without a risk – that should fit a defender’s tastes.

  387. Good adviee

    Add…….AFTER determining that none of your pieces are at risk o being taken, don’t make a move umtil you have considered at least 3 moved

    • Flyingcupid // April 25, 2018 at 7:08 am // Reply

      Defending is one of the knowledge you must have, but also you must know how to plan on checkmating your opponent. Think before you move some pieces and block your opponent where u think he plans to do.

  403. GREAT!! What is a rook and how many points is a castle worth?

    • I like to help. // February 22, 2018 at 8:17 pm // Reply

      A rook is a piece that can move forward.backward, and sideways by and number of squares just so long as it’s still in the same direction. Also Castling isn’t a way to earn points it’s only a way to protect your king. (if you are unaware castling is Castling is a special type of chess move. When castling, you simultaneously move your king, and one of your rooks. The king moves two squares towards a rook, and that rook moves to the square at the other side of the king.)

  584. THANK U FOR SUCH GREAT TIPS BUT I NEED FEW MOVES ON HOW TO END THE GAME FAST

    i know better rules than described here

  586. is it possible to find a checkmate with bishop and two horses?

    • Technically if the king is cornered almost any piece can force a checkmate

      • using the point chart if you have more then five points (usually not counting pawns) there is a possible checkmate, however 2 knights can’t force the checkmate

  587. good start for me thanks

    Well, what happens if your opponent captures your pieces in the beginning? Should i capture his piece or ignore. (The opponent might threaten me with a pawn by trying to capture my knight.

  591. Much appreciated.

  592. It really helped me to compete with my opponent

  593. Wonderful ideas. These are so useful for me to become a champ!

The middle game however is basically having all your pieces where you want them so the real game of chess can start. Good Job!!!

      yes they do, but a thing they don’t show is how to pin pieces, which is very very important; to pin a piece by a bishop, queen, or rook, you threaten to attack a piece that has a piece of more value behind it, stopping it from moving.

      I know what you mean… I’ve won against my brother once in the past months. Then again, I haven’t played since I was five.

  787. hoping to improve my game with these tips

  788. I always get my knights to control the 4 center squares.

  789. Try to bring all 8 pawns to the end of the board. And keep your 2 knights behind them to protect them. Then you have 9 queens!

  790. I love chess and will use these tips wisely

  791. im going to battle my brother now. hope it works!

  792. this is very helpful

  793. move your 2 royal pawns up 2 and counter them with 2 nights then the bisip to protect the nights i started that first and i beat pros with that

  794. Finally,i beat so much people tournament! THANKS FOR THE TIPS! :]

  795. for #5, if you are up in the endgame, always watch the pawns. your opponent (as well as you) can get better pieces with a pawn if it reaches the opposite end. so if you have the time, wipe them out A T T H E E N D !!!

    To cheesepuff84,
    when you castle, on either side, move out the pawn that you will have the king behind in the long run so that it does not endanger your king (like check from a bishop), but also leaves it an escape route

    hmm…will this actually work?

  797. these are great tips I’m glad I Know these because chess club started at my school

  798. One of the best openings for a bunch of beginners is the kings pawn opening; more specifically the two knights defense (e4e5Nf3Nc6Bc4Nf6Ng5!) It does work… I got to a rating of 1696 with that opening. However once you get older, many of these tips become useless

  835. Miss_America88 // January 26, 2009 at 10:33 am // Reply

    I know someone before didn’t want to tell but what are the moves that have to happen to win in two moves?

  836. These are great beginner tips, castling is very important and yes, I try to do it before the tenth move (10-15 or so). After so many moves you might have lost the chance to castle and burying your king in your own end where he is covered is safest. The middle of the board is where it hits the fan. just remember that the side pawns are your protection and not to move them away from your king for a while, just until you’ve thinned out the herd a little and also you must keep your pieces covering each other near your king. One opponent piece in there wreaks havoc.

  837. Thanks for the help! I’m in chess club so in need help

  838. My dad cant beat me anymore. Thanks!

  839. level 10? Which chess program are you speaking of? There are many different chess apps, all with there own level system.

    I’m glad some of you found the tips helpful! I remember when this article came out a couple years ago–it was a lot of fun to work with the author, Nancy. The graphics were really neat, too.

    Castling is a good move! Almost all chess masters and Grandmasters try to castle within the first 15 moves of a game or so. Although the king may look “blocked in” in the corner, it is actually safer there. If castling appears to leave you getting checkmated early, it is probably because not all of your pieces have been mobilized. In the opening, be sure to get ALL your pieces out–don’t waste too much time with the pawns!

    this is really good imformation, it might just help me beat my dad (he’s really good) and beat at least 1 person in a tournament. P.S.i have heard this stuff B4.

  845. I know the two move, the four move, the three move, and many more. Some of the easiest ways to block these involve a knight moving in the opening.

  846. Ok tips for beginners, most of which can be found in a beginning book at the library.

    This is not a great feat at all; being good at chess has nothing to do with age. It’s all experience. If a 10 year old that had been playing for 1 week beat a 30 year old that was completely new, I wouldn’t be surprised a bit. Keep in mind, I’m not bashing Jonathon, just pointing out the obvious.

    G-dog: Castling is a extremely important part of winning chess. Ask anyone at an intermediate/above level of play.

  847. some good tips, some not so good tips. take these with your grains of salt
    * please excuse spelling =P

  849. Great tips for beginners. I’m at an intermediate level, though, so these are already drilled into my brain.

    This is pretty awesome

  851. I agree Joe, These aren’t really great tips. Castling puts your king in a corner so its hard for him to get out of trouble it should only be used if it needs to.
