Lets begin by asking an important question, Why should you play chess?
Do you want to become an expert and master all the necessary skills and strategies?
Surely, many of you will buy this book, but will doubt your ability to successfully play chess. A general misperception is that chess is only meant for those over fifty, and that it is rarely played by children or teenagers. In fact, chess is extremely popular among people in their teens, twenties, and early thirties. Today, chess is played in major countries around the world and is part of many game tournaments.
You may feel anxious about getting started with chess, because you think its only a game for those who are exceptionally intelligent or clever. The truth is most people become chess experts, because they read many books and/or learn the skills and master them from their acquaintances.
Amongst all the invented games, chess is the game of royalty, held in considerable prestige throughout the centuries. Originally invented to be played by two intellectually curious players in the 6 th century AD, over the years, it has evolved into its present form. One player takes the black pieces and the other takes the white pieces. They use their army of chess pieces until one player puts the others king in a situation where they have no choice but to surrender: checkmate.
Chess exercises and stretches the mind; it develops important mental abilities that are useful in all aspects of life. It teaches critical thinking, concentration, problem solving, abstract reasoning, evaluation, strategic planning, pattern recognition, and creativity. Chess will teach you how to better able analyze situations and focus on important factors by eliminating distractions. The game is self-motivating. Your goal will be to attack and defend your key pieces, and fight your way to checkmate.
The book is a perfect guide for both beginners and experts. You will learn the basics of chess, learn about how each piece sits on the board, master the moves and rules, and learn all the strategies that will help you win all your matches against your opponent. Learn more about this game of kings by reading on.
Chess dates back more than 1500 years. The game may have originated in India in the 6 th century AD (or sometime earlier, in the 5 th century AD). Some historians, however, claim that the game likely originated in China. Records are unclear. But, most evidence points to the game starting in India, and later spreading to Persia. After Arabs conquered Persia, chess spread across the Muslims world. Later, it reached Southern European countries.
Modern chess evolved in Europe beginning in the 15 th century. The game ruled countries and the period was referred to as the Romantic Chess Era. In the 1800s, the game was characterized by clever combinations of moves, a swashbuckling attitude, and brash sacrifices. Winning wasnt that important; rather, style was what mattered most. The game focused more on ones creative expressions than on technical skills or long-term strategies. Soon after, chess moved into the Dynamism Era.
At the beginning of the 19 th century, chess, in its modern form, became a part of tournaments and championships. The first ever World Chess Championship was held in 1886. In the early 20 th century, chess took a gigantic leap forward and a chess federation was established, which set standard chess rules. In the 21 st century, chess popularity skyrocketed and software was developed. Players can also play chess online.
Chess originated in the 6 th century in Indias Gupta Empire. The game was called Chaturanga. This word translates from the four military divisions: cavalry, chariotry, infantry, and elephantry. These forms have now evolved into modern pieces: knight, rook, pawn, and bishop.
Chess later moved from India to Persia, and soon became an important part of Persian education (for the noble and elite classes). The Persians called it Chatrang. It was later renamed Shatranj, because Arab Muslims struggled with the ch and ng sounds. New rules were invented in this period.
After some time, players started to use the word shah (meaning King in Persian) whenever they would attack the opponents king. They also used the term, shah mat, meaning helpless king in Persian. In the modern game, this translates as checkmate. Checkmate happens when the opponents king cant escape an incoming attack or defend himself.
Chess later spread to many other countries; other variants of the game began to take shape. Silk traders, pilgrims, and other people soon carried chess to other areas. Slowly, the game became a game for the masses, rather than one only played by the elite. In the 10 th century, chess moved further into Europe, and it was here that the game began to develop rapidly.
Many historical figures were avid chess players, including King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, Euler (the famous mathematician), and Benjamin Franklin. For these people, chess was more than a mere idle amusement. By playing the game, they were able to hone valuable qualities, such as foresight, perseverance, and circumspection.
The laws of chess, or the rules of the game, refer to certain rules that determine how one should play the game. While the origins of chess are somewhat vague, the modern rules of chess first originated in the Middle Ages. The rules have been continuously modified.
In previous centuries, rules also varied from place to place. The world chess organization has now set universal standardized rules (which are slightly modified from national ones). Fast chess, chess variants, online chess, and correspondence chess have their own slight rule variations.
