Winning a chess game requires strategy, knowledge, and
skill.
Everyone knows the game ends in checkmate, but how do you get there?
- Go for a big checkmating attack. This is the most direct
approach. And whether you're in the opening, middlegame, or endgame, it's always
a viable strategy to 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. But if you're a naturally aggressive player, this might be the best
style for you.
- Try to win material and then convert in the endgame. This
way of playing is more measured, and should appeal to logical, strategic chess
players. Instead of going for the throat right away, simply develop your pieces
to good squares and look for tactics to win material in the middlegame. If
you're able to snag a pawn or two, or even a piece, you can go for a winning
endgame with your extra material.
- Use the universal approach. Develop your pieces to good
squares and try to control as much space as possible. But stay alert and look
for opportunities to attack a vulnerable enemy king. If your opponent keeps the
king safe the whole game, then your task is to try to win material and convert
in the endgame, but if your opponent's king is suddenly exposed, find the
fastest way to get your pieces in for the direct kill.

At the beginning of a game the professional chess player
understands the ins and outs of the opening he plays which, of course, has been
deeply studied. He knows where his pieces should be, he is well-versed about the
pawn structure’s needs, and he’ll know if it’s going to be a slow positional
battle or a raw, vicious, tactical war. Of course, if his opponent makes a
mistake...
