Re: Improving your Chess
I played some shogi when I still had some of my vision. Really fun game, I liked it much more than chess. I'd love to play an accessible shogi some day.

Re: Improving your Chess
@38:you of course, are correct.since unlike chess with which I am familiar since the age of 7, Shogi is something which I saw in Naruto first, and then wanted to play. The board would be useful for understanding the rules as well.I did come across someone who did

Re: Improving your Chess
Hello,@37: depends on the country. For example, even in chess, instead of Rxe8+ for example, in Slovak, we write Vxe8+, as veža is the slovak version of rook.Shogi seems to be in the same situation. Japans use their own kanji notation, but there is also a western

Re: Improving your Chess
Yes, pressing E while being focused on a piece tells you if there are threats. In general, you can always press F1 while in any game to hear the available shortcuts.

Re: Improving your Chess
@23:Thanks for that. I used to think that it might have the same commands as the winboard, but it's a good thing I asked here, since in the winboard you do the job of selecting the pieces, and dropping them on their intended squares by space and enter both. (D
Re: Improving your Chess
Oh, that's quite simple. You simply select a piece with enter, move on the board where you would like that piece to go and press enter on that square. You could also input moves in FEN notation by pressing space, for example Pe2-e4.

Hi there,well, I've been playing chess since my 11. I've never got any exceptionally good in it, perhaps due to complete absence of training. my highest elo ranking was about 1344, what's not even a club player level. Although it was possibly bit u

I am Jayde on the Playroom, so if any of you see me, that's who it is. I've lost some really stupid games of chess because I blundered pieces, which I virtually never do over the board, so I think if I want to play any of you folks seriously, I'm g

I wouldn't call myself good at it; in fact, I'm less than good at it. I've lost more matches than I've won, but the ones I have won were won by the lessons I learned in all the matches I lost. IN short, you have to understand why you lo

Re: Improving your Chess
Regarding the queen, I used to think that way once. But honestly, if your queen can serve a better purpose somewhere else on the board, you might as well as send it there. No point in keeping it until the end, when you might find to you're surprise that the

I prefer two rooks to one queen myself, particularly closer to end scenarios. There's more chances to apply pressure to the opposing side with two mobile pieces that can quickly provide an attack. That being said, it really does depend on the situation. A m

Re: Improving your Chess
@4Yes the queen is the most valuable piece, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you should save it until you have no other choice. To my understanding, there's nothing wrong with using a queen as long as you have a purpose and as long as it's well
