[15] [1] In a less exotic case, it explains why trading rooks in the presence of a queen-vs-3-minors imbalance favours the player with the queen, as the rooks hinder the movement of the queen more than of the minor pieces. Adding piece values is thus a first approximation, because piece cooperation must also be considered (e.g. opposite ...
The white queen starts on d1, while the black queen starts on d8. With the chessboard oriented correctly, the white queen starts on a white square and the black queen starts on a black square—thus the mnemonics "queen gets her color", "queen on [her] [own] color", or "the dress [queen piece] matches the shoes [square]" (Latin: servat rēgīna colōrem).
A chess rating system is a system used in chess to estimate the strength of a player, based on their performance versus other players. They are used by organizations such as FIDE, the US Chess Federation (USCF or US Chess), International Correspondence Chess Federation, and the English Chess Federation. Most of the systems are used to ...
A chess piece, or chessman, is a game piece that is placed on a chessboard to play the game of chess.It can be either white or black, and it can be one of six types: king, queen, rook, bishop, knight, or pawn.
q1 = q2*6 + r2. r2 gives the queen's position, so put it on the board. q2 gives the N5N code, so put the knights on the board (of course skipping over the bishops and queen). Starting with idn = 518, we get 518 = 32*16 + 6, and 32 = 5*6 + 2 so the bishop's code is 6, the queen's position is 2 and the N5N code is 5 with configuration -N-N-.
The rank is given a number, ranging from 1 to 8, with rank 1 being closest to the player. In 19th century chess literature the first rank is usually called simply the "[piece]'s square", so "K1" ("King One") is called "King's square" (K. Sq.). Some players omitted both the "1" and the "sq", so "Rook to King 1" was written R–K.
Chess is an abstract strategy board game for two players which involves no hidden information and no elements of chance.It is played on a square game board called a chessboard containing 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid.
The second digit is the rank; ranks are numbered 1 to 8 from nearest to farthest from White's point of view. Each move is denoted by either four or five digits: the first two digits denote the square the moving piece leaves; the following two digits denote the square at which the moving piece arrives; and, where applicable, the fifth digit ...
