Chess Beginners - Study this commented Chess Game

Chess Beginners may find this game difficult to understand but take it easy. Just let the ideas sink in and use common sense. Don't look at the chess pieces but use X-Ray Vision instead.

This means, if you see a knight, then you just try to imagine the squares that are controlled by the knight. But don't look at the knight itself. Chess is all about controlling squares, never forget that!

The Way you look!

When you look at your chess position as White you should see it like this in your mind! This is scary, isn't it?

So if you look at the Queen you don't see the Queen, just the squares which are controlled by it. See below!

Early Weak Attack leads to Disaster

Black plays a dubious opening and attacks as soon as he can. He is not developed fully yet. His queenside bishop is sitting on its original square like a dead duck and is not participating in the attack at all, but disturbs the coordination of Blacks Pieces instead.

The black attack is only supported by a few pieces and is running into nothing. White strikes back in the center and wins.
