    Learning chess Rob Brunia, Cor van Wijgerden Workbook Step 2 Narn Date of birth: Street: Place: Learned chess from: | 1° step completed: = 4 _ Activity of the pieces A queen can do much more than other pieces. The value of pieces is of course of great importance, but also the place of the pieces on the board play an important role. The pieces gain importance by putting them on the right squares. 7 ; The knight on g1 can move to 3 squares. The bishop on el can move to 7 squares, The squares g5 and h6 are on the opponent's half of the board Iris good to control squares ‘of the opponent, He cannot put his own pieces | } In the middle of the board most of the pieces control most of the squares, So you must try to play your pieces into this part of the board, The middle of the board is called the centre, the squares 04, d5, 4, and eS. The squares around the centre are also important. A piece in the centre can quickly support other pieces anywhere around the board. se The knight on e4 can move fo 8 squares. The knight has more possi- bilities than in the first dia- gram. The knight bas more freedom to move, more: mobility. The knight controls 4 squares on the opponent's half of the board, ao am ; | ‘On the left White can comer the black knight with 1. Bed-bS. On the right W plays 1. Re2-e6, After which the knight on g8 cannot be played any longer. A piece is active when: * itis covering as many squares as possible. il es on the * it comers a piece of the opponent « itattacks a piece of the opponent The bishop on d4 has 13 squares to which it can move ‘This bishop has more possi- bilities than the one in the first diagram, The bishop has more freedom t move, more mobility. The bishop controls 4 squares on the opponent's half of the board, In your games you must take care that all the pieces are active. The white bishop and the black knight control few squares and are not attacking anything, White can solve this problem by playing the bishop via cl to £4 or even better by advancing the c-pawn Black has more problems getting the knight into play. ‘Via a5 there is no future. On- ly by playing Na8 and NE7 it can become active.

On the squares marked with a efoss, the queen can attack the king, by giving check Of course, giving check on 7 is not good at all, since the king can capture the queen there. An attack on the king always forees the opponent to reaet at once 2. Material is the target. Anattack ona piece is less forcing than an attack on the king. An attack on material (pieces and pawns) makes sense when there are: © unprotected pieces ‘The unprotected bishop on ¢4 can be attacked by a rook (1. Ral-cl or 1, Rel-cl). Attacking the bishop on b6 by 1. Ral- 1 is less useful. White does not threaten to take. ® pieces with a higher value White can attack the rook with 1, Be3-h6. Black must move the rook away not to lose any material. © insufficient protected pieces The knight on d5 is attacked once and defended once. With 1 Ral-cl White can attack the knight an additional time. Black must protect the knight or move him away. 3. A square is the target, ‘The third target is an atiack on a square. It must be an important square. In the diagram White has many targets of attack. On all squares with a plus White threatens to mate, It isnot important whether these squares are empty or occupied.

The king must give way and the rook is lost, king + material x a EAeWee aa aaa a This is almost the starting position, Black has just taken a pawn on e4 with his knight, That was not a smart move The knight on e4 is not protected. Now White can win this knight with a double attack by the queen. He plays 1. Qdl-ad+. How do you recognise double attacks, when you yourself are pl The queen attacks the bishop and the knight. One of them can escape, but the other is lost. Black always loses a . A double attack with the queen on two pieces ean only be successful if they are unprotected, The queen needs help with protected material + material 7 Hee aoa £2 sh @ ‘ [Ba & Alf Baus. To deliver a double attack in your own games you must pay attention to: * On which square can you give check? * Which pieces are unpro- tected? ‘+ Where you can give mate? The king on g8 is not safe and all Black's pieces are unprotected, The best move is 1. Qel-g3+. but also 1. Qel-el isa good double attack. The white queen attacks the might and the important square d8. ‘This square is important because the queen can give mate on d8, If the knight moves away, White gives checkmate on d&. If Black prevents checkmate by, for example f. ... h7-h6, the knight is lost This is a double attack with the queen on the targets: material + square A Sime) Not every double attack is good. The queen must come to the right square to attack two targets, The first thing that attracts attention is the fact that the black king is not secure. Also the rook on f4 is unprotected Itis tempting to instantly play 1. QeS-e5+. Don’t! Check if the move is correct first, Then you will notice the bishop on h8 and you will play 1. Qe5-e3+.

None of the three mules can be ignored. One must also complete the opening, In this diagram both players have made good moves. Now White must get his bishop on c1 into the battle.
