Hi there.
Now that you know how the pieces move, I just want to say the board is said something like this.
So we've got a one here.
If you're playing whites, H1 one, so light on the right and the queen stands on the same color as
her shoes.
So the white queen is on a white square and with.
This position, it's always white that goes first and a good first move, for example, is for another
one is DeFore to try and control the key four central squares with chessboard.
They're very, very important, as we'll discover later.
So the plan with the white pieces goes fast.
And if you're playing with a friend and you're one of the side who goes first, a common traditional
way is to get a white pawn and a black pawn and put it in your face.
Don't show which vest you put, which pawn in and offer to your opponents to sort of nod and choose,
you know, if it's a white pawn in that that them play whites.
If it's a black pawn, then you're playing white.
So that's how you choose colors generally in unofficial games, casual games and tournament games.
It's very, very different.
The pairings, the so-called pairings are done by the tournament organizers.
But in casual chess, you just grab a white pawn secretly in one fist and a black hole and another and
offer to the opponents and conventioneers.
To be fair, you know, on the next game, alternate the colors.
So that's kind of nice thing for casual chess to practice.
Cenziper friends.
So offer a clenched pawn they choose and that decides who goes first.
OK, as.
