TIP 3) Get the Knights and Bishops out! Before you move your queen, rooks or king, move your knights and bishops toward the center of the board. You want to get these pieces out from behind the pawns so they can attack. -Olivia Knight

Tip 2) Open with a pawn! Move the pawn in front of either the king or queen two squares forward. (Only on its opening move can a pawn move two squares.) This opens pathways for your bishops and queen to enter the game. They move on an angle and can’t get out onto the field of battle if pawns are in the way. -Olivia Knight

Hi! Here I am to teach you everything about chess so here’s 10 of my easy tips for beginners! TIP 1) Learn how every piece moves!!! That seems like a duh thing to say but many people don’t know where to begin and this is a great start! Each chess piece can move only a certain way. For instance, a pawn moves straight ahead but can only attack on an angle, one square at a time. A knight’s move is L-shaped. The bishop moves at an angle but can move more than one square at a time. The rook (castle) can move only in a straight line but can go forward, back or to the side. The queen, the most powerful piece, can move in any direction for any number of squares, but not two directions in one move. And the king moves at a stately pace — as a king should — one square at a time in any direction. I’ve provided a diagram in this post! Good luck getting started. Xoxo 😘 -Olivia Knight
