Free Chess Strategies - Improve Your Chess Game!

Follow these free chess strategies to improve your game of chess. All chess lessons are strictly orientated on reality. Various elements of chess are introduced that occur in real chess games.

Chess Strategy develops a plan that you should have when you play chess. If you don't have a plan, you will just aimlessly move your pieces around without a purpose or goal. This will lead to the loss of the game on a higher level of play. The plan has to be adjusted move after move. It does change in the course of the game.

A plan is always long-term and depends on the chess position and has to be adjusted from time to time. To create a plan you must look at every single pawn and every single piece. You should analyze the position first before you make a plan.

That means you do not force your will upon your position and make a plan that suits you but not the position. You have to submit your will to the requirements of the position. When your chess position tells you to attack on the kingside, then you don't attack on the queenside, just because you like to. Always "ask" your position what you should do. And concentration is needed, of course, not like in this video.

There are static and dynamic elements in a chess position.

The Static Elements

The static elements (ex: doubled pawns) stay the way they are and usually cannot be changed. For example you might not be able to dissolve your damaged or weak pawn structure (static).

Dynamic elements

Dynamic positional elements can be changed and do change in the course of the game.(bishop pair, flexible pawn formation) For example the pawn structure gets blocked and the knights increase in strength. Or the position opens up and the bishops become stronger than the knights.

A good player sees those things on the subconscious level. He always knows if he is running behind in material. That means for example, if he is a pawn or a piece up or down. He adjusts his play to this situation accordingly.

Dynamic elements are:

Strategic threats

Security of kings

Control of diagonals and rows

Pawn structure: isolated pawns, doubled pawns, backward pawns

Weak squares

Harmonious piece coordination

You analyze those elements and then you evaluate your position. After that you make a new plan or adjust your old plan.

Mobility of Chess Pieces

The Mobility of Chess Pieces can change during the course of the game. Sometimes it is possible to capitalize on zero mobility of a piece and win it. This happens when a chess piece has no room to move at all when attacked and can be captured afterwards.
