Hi there.
In this lecture, I just want to make sure you understand about some basic terminology of the chessboards,
the files are the vertical slices, so defo F o f g for each file.
So Afolabi files.
So those are the files, the ranks I'm going to put in Green Arrow.
So your first rank.
Your second rank.
Third rank for Frank Frank.
Sixth rank seven Frank eight Frank and diagonals eight eight eight eight diagonal B one eight seven
diagonal.
And you might wonder, are these like terms important?
Both.
They kind of all because you have key Loyn pieces in chess.
So afraid if I diagonal the line pieces like the bishop, the two bishops and the queen, they're line
pieces and so are the Rook's.
There's quite a lot of line pieces basically that go in lines.
So essentially Rook's actually cannot go diagonally, but they can go along files and ranks.
Bishops can go along the diagonals, but they can't go on the files and ranks.
And also there's a logical divide of Queensland Kingside.
So queen side from one's perspective, is this signable when the queen starts?
That's like the queen side and the king size is like this side of the boards and that logical split
one on the thing.
If we flip the boards
relative to us, this, even though it says seven that this is still going this is still our first rank
as black, our second rank.
So just bear that in mind, it's relatives once when we usually talk about ranks.
OK, so
philes essentially ranks and darkrooms.
I, Ashley, done green, the rank in blue so far, iPhone eight, 88, diagonal of our full Frank.
OK, I hope that's thereabouts.
Those polls ranks Queensland kingside, and, you know, if we're playing black, you know, this is
our queen side.
If we call the queen side, it's this side of the board.
If we're playing black or our queen is just to clear up any ambiguity that when we flip the ball, that's
all queen side and this is on King side playing back.
OK, so I hope that's fairly clear about the fouls ranks like North Queensland, Kingside, OK, and
so much.
