The Chess Board
All of you are advised to learn the chess board so well that you should be able to “see” it in your mind.
You should be able to quickly answer, without looking at the board, to some questions such as:
- How can a knight from c4 arrive at f6 through d3?
- Say all the routes for a knight to go from d6 to f4 in the minimal number of moves.
- Which are the squares where an h4-bishop can attack a queen on d6?
- Name the diagonals that intersect in c5, f4, h2.
- Name the color of the squares where the b1-h7 diagonal intersects the 4th rank.
….and so on.
Practice those kind of exercises at home, I will test you next week and every other week after that!
