![]() If your opponent neglects to castle, you might be able to launch an attack on his king. Once all the squares between your rook and the king are unoccupied you can move the king two squares toward the rook while the rook moves to the square on the the king’s other side. “CASTLE” EARLYĬastling is a move that allows you to move your king to safety and bring your rook into play. Ask yourself, “Does my move leave something unprotected?” DON’T WASTE TIMEĭon’t make too many moves with your pawns or try to pick off your opponent’s pawns. But always double-check your moves before you play them. Look at moves that would capture your opponent’s men or threaten his king first. WATCH YOUR BACK!Īnd front! When it’s your turn, always think to yourself, “What did my opponent’s last move do? What is he up to?” Is he laying traps to capture your pieces? Then decide on your own plan. You want to get these pieces out from behind the pawns so they can attack. GET THE KNIGHTS AND BISHOPS OUTīefore you move your queen, rooks or king, move your knights and bishops toward the center of the chess board. They move on an angle and can’t get out onto the field of battle if pawns are in the way. (Only on its opening move can a pawn move two squares.) This opens pathways for your bishops and queen to enter the game. Move the pawn in front of either the king or queen two squares forward. And the king moves at a stately pace - as a king should - one square at a time in any direction on the chess board. The queen, the most powerful piece, can move in any direction for any number of squares, but not two directions in one move. The rook (castle) can move only in a straight line but can go forward, back or to the side. The bishop moves at an angle but can move more than one square at a time. For instance, a pawn moves straight ahead but can only attack on an angle, one square at a time.

I appreciate you answering our scout questions, I find it very helpful. This is just my opinion on this topic, but thanks for listening. Plus, I typically only need the blade portion of the multi-tool, so having a simple pocket knife is far smaller in your pocket, vs a full toolbox. Having a Single blade is easy to control and you only need to focus on finding one thing instead of searching through to find the specific one you need. In addition, having the bulkier Swiss Army Knife really bulges in your pocket (like it’s letting everyone know that you have one). I agree that Swiss Army knives are pretty handy, yet I never really use the various small tools that accompany the knife, even on scouting retreats.
