Basic Chess Strategy Exercises

Training makes a master. Here you have a mix-up of basic chess strategy situations that can occur in a real game. A bit of this and a bit of that, just to get various parts of your brain going and to give you a bit chess reality.

Give it a go, but I must warn you. Those exercises are pretty difficult for you, if you are a beginner, but I must challenge you somehow or you will fall asleep. Isn't that so, my friend?

Do you know that old saying:
When the going gets tough only the tough get going.
Remember! Always use x-ray vision and make the moves in your mind. Always check what the opponent can do before you actually move. Do this in your head and don't look at the solution right away.
Put your old thinking cap on and off you go.
