There are six different types of chess pieces. Each side starts with 16 pieces: eight pawns, two bishops, two knights, two rooks, one queen, and one king. Every piece has its purpose and every piece is important in its own way. Becoming a good chess player involves a strategy of course but it starts with knowing the characters in the game.
What do you think is more important? Understanding how the different pieces move or understanding why it moves the way that it does? I think it’s more important to understand HOW each piece moves. Because when we're playing the game it doesn’t really matter WHY They move the way that they do, only HOW in order to win.
If one of my pieces is overtaken by my opponent, then I need to understand how to play my best game with the pieces I have available.
You have to understand the pieces that you have around you in life...Lets discuss those pieces!
