Chess Strategies for Beginners I

Chess Strategies for Beginners are free and will teach you how to apply the right chess strategies and enable you to play good chess moves. Finally you have learned the Chess Rules I hope, and we can start now with the real stuff. It helps if you first read How to play Chess and come back afterwards.

See some Chess Pictures for fun to get some real life chess reality.

The following chess video shows you the most common first chess moves. Study them and avoid making other inferior moves. For example never play the edge pawns as they have no influence on the center squares and do not help to get your pieces (Knights and Bishops) out.

Most Common First Moves

Basic Endgames
I will show you first some fundamental endgames that you should know, to conduct a chess game properly when you reach the endgame. And you need some basic understanding how the the king moves without getting confused by too many pieces on the board.
Please replay the selected endgame positions and study them until you are able to handle those situations in a real game.
