![]() Black gains a tempi on the MISPLACED BISHOP which has to be protected or must retreat after Qb6.īlack wants to chase the bishop away as the queen can capture the unprotected b-pawn after that. Chess Principle: Develop a Piece!īoth players have developed a piece. The king move looks dubious, but is stronger. ![]() This would develop the queen with GAIN OF TIME winning a tempi! He could have protected against the check playing Bd7, however, the king move is stronger as it creates a MISPLACED BISHOP on b5 which will be attacked by the queen later on. Chess Principle: Misplaced Bishopīlack moves his king away from the check and improves his king safety. White has to move the important e-pawn (center pawn) to get his kingside pieces out otherwise he cannot castle.īlack got his pawn back! Now he can think about moving his queen out to b6 attacking the dark square b2 or develop his kingside knight. ![]() White wants to develop his Kingside pieces to be able to castle short. White cannot protect it with b4 as Nxb4 will capture the pawn and White can’t recapture because the rook will be lost after BxR. Chess Principle: Develop a Piece! Na6īlack develops the queenside knight to an ACTIVE position as it attacks the weak pawn at c5. Chess Principle: Develops a Piece quicklyĥ.Bg3 Bg7 Chess Strategy – Step by Step Chess Principle: Build a Wall to reduce the Bishops Power with c3. Gaining a Tempi to develop the black Bishop to g7Īfter 4.dxc Black plays g5 with gaining a tempi, as he wants to develop his kingside bishop to g7. You have to invest a pawn temporarily to get going. This is not a pawn sacrifice as Black will regain the c-pawn later on as it becomes WEAK. Conclusion: The Queenside’s DARK Squares are weak.īlack’s move c5 attacks a dark square (d4) AND opens up lines for the black queen which will work on the dark squares at the queenside, which are WEAK, because the queenside bishop is cut off and can’t control the dark squares at the white queenside any more. 3…c5! Chess Principle: The dark-running Bishop has left the white Queenside and can’t retreat to the Queenside anymore. Because the king can escape to h7 and will not get checkmated on the backrank by a rook or a queen. Note: A Luftloch is a German word and means: Airhole (breathing hole) It would be handy to have a Luftloch after Black has castled. It is only justified by the dumb move Bh4 that moves a piece twice. h6 is a dumb move by itself in the opening stage of the game. Let me say it drastically: Two dumb Moves neutralize each other. ![]() (He moved the bishop twice)īlack: Don’t push pawns in the opening, especially edge pawns, but develop a piece. White: Don’t move twice with a piece in the opening. Both players violated the following chess prinicples: Both players have committed a violation and this makes it even. ![]() Black made a pawn move (h6) that can not be considered a development move as he should have developed a piece instead. White loses 1 tempi retreating the bishop and not developing a piece instead. So both players have violated chess principles in this situation. It does not cost you anything, a tempi, I mean, but h6 is a nice little practical move, that improves your chances a little bit! It puts some spice into the game as it enables g5 AND if the bishop goes to h4 then it is cut off from the queenside! It can not come for help to the queenside when the house is on fire. The move h6 is NOT very effective but it is FREE! This is the point. The move h6 is useful as it controls g5 and enables the follow up move g5 later on, followed by the development of the inactive bishop to g7. 2.h6 Chess Principle: Earning a FREE MOVE while attacking the INSTABLE BISHOP to make a LUFTLOCH.īlack EARNS the free move (2.h6), where you don’t lose a development tempi as you attack the INSTABLE BISHOP, which must retreat, losing a tempi for White. 1.d5 Chess Principle: Control the Centerġ.d4 d5 White moves Chess Strategy – Step by Stepīlack has answered 1…d5 to control the squares e4 and c4 and to stop the white center pawn to advance further gaining center space. ![]()
