Chess

A chess piece which can move in an "L" formation that is on the black team.

Depending on the preference of the individual and governing body; controller, tournament director, arbiter, or master in charge. This list is not exhaustive.

A poisoned pawn is one which is left out in the open as a target for an opponent's piece in order to lure that opponent into capturing what looks like an easy capture. But it is a trap that has many many uses. Say an opponent has a piece that is guarding a square you want to go to in order to checkmate the king. The pawn is moved to a square where it can be taken by that protecting piece. If the opponent goes for that pawn it moves to a spot where it no longer guards the spot you want. You then move to the now unprotected square and checkmate the king. So the opponent gobbled up an insignificant pawn only to be poisoned by the lack of protection. Actually, any piece can be used as a poisoned piece if used properly in the right game situation.

Queens always begin the game on their own colors: the white queen on a white square and the black queen on a black square. We all remember: white on right; queen on colour. Queens are indeed meant to be on their own colors but that begs the question: Why are they meant to be on their own color? They could face each other if they were on their opposite colors too. The reason they face each other is probably more because the kings face each other just as they would on a real battlefield. In ancient forms of chess there was no queen. There was an "advisor to the king" sitting on the spot the queen now sits. In later years, the queen was introduced and simply replaced the "advisor". Even in that ancient form of chess, the kings faced off against one another. Although the historical response is interesting, the real reason is because that's what the official rules of chess say. Any two people can agree to play by different rules, of course, but they would not be playing the official game of chess. If you really want to play by a different rule, try playing by the old rule that allowed the king to move any number of spaces in any direction, just like the queen.

A chess game may end with a drawn result from six possible scenarios.

Insufficient Material. The following combinations can never deliver checkmate (assuming no pawns) against a lone King: 1) lone King, 2) King and one Knight, 3) King and one Bishop. A player must claim the draw, otherwise play continues (either player may still lose on time).

Draw by Repetition. If the same position occurs 3 times (not necessarily on consecutive moves) with the same player to move, either player may point this out and claim a draw. If neither player claims the draw, play continues (either player may still lose on time).

Stalemate. If a player has no legal moves on his/her turn, but is not in check, the game is over and the result is a draw.

Fifty-Move Rule. If either player makes 50 consecutive moves without moving a pawn or making a capture (irreversible moves), either player may claim a draw. If neither player claims the draw, play continues (either player may still lose on time).

Draw by Agreement. Players may offer a draw at any time during a game, but preferably immediately after making a move. If the opponent wants to accept the draw offer, he/she must do so before making a move, otherwise the draw offer expires. Draw offers may be repeated.

Both Flags Down. If neither player has time left on the clock, either player may claim a draw (unless one of the players has already been checkmated or resigned). If neither player notices, the TD may point out the draw so that the next round does not start late.

Knight .

No they never did as Fischer had stopped playing professional chess by the time Kasparov came around. However Kasparov claimed after watching Fischer's 1992 rematch with Boris Spassky in Yugoslavia that he was past his prime and that he (Kasparov) could easily beat him.

Rokh is a Persian word meaning Chariot. Today it represents the Castle-shaped piece known as a Rook.

There are certain movies in the game of chess that are referred to as chess openings. There is a list of 1,327 moves made by either the white or black pieces that are considered a chess opening.

The board is set up in this manner: Black square in the left-hand corner, queen to her own color. The white queen is on d1 (a white square), the black queen on d8 (a black square).

Yes it is!

The pawn is technically worth one point, but late in the game, it can be worth as much as a bishop or knight.

Try getting the "Hit-A-Way". This tool is awesome for improving hitting.

The limits in the game of chess are: the rules of the game, the four edges of the chessboard, and your mental capacity.
