Winning
a chess game requires quite a bit of work.
Here
are the two most common ways you can win:
- Go for a direct attack against the enemy king. Checkmate
ends the game, no matter what. That means whether you're in the opening,
middlegame, or endgame, it's always a viable strategy to try and target your
opponent's king. The drawback to this strategy is that if your attack is
unsuccessful, it can leave your pieces and pawns badly misplaced.
- Try to win material and then convert in the endgame. This
way of playing is more measured. Instead of going for the throat right away,
many players develop their pieces to good squares and look for tactics to win
material in the middlegame. If they're able to snag a pawn or two, or even a
piece, they'll look to trade everything off and win in the endgame with the
extra material.
