What Is Your Best Chess Move?

[Vijay Khadake]

Any series of moves to checkmate.

[Shreya Kulkarni]

I don’t know if you can talk about a best chess move the way you are asking. If you are looking at the beginning of the game, your opponent has to give you help to be able to checkmate early.

Well i just want to know people’s suggest so i can get learn something from them

[Shreya Kulkarni]

I would say that you need to focus on the best strategy to gain a winning advantage instead of talking about a single best move, or series of moves. The first strategy I would suggest would be to control the center. From there, your pieces have lots of range and can react to any situation much better than if they are stuck on the sides.

[Vijay Khadake]

I understand but you should share something

[Shreya Kulkarni]

best move?

Varies according to opponent, position, time, etc.

I like 0-0-0 (castlelong) to turn staid position into slugfest unexpectedly.

[Vijay Khadake]

You mean Castling right ?

[Shreya Kulkarni]

Castling is a strategic move that moves the King and Rook in one move. It can get the king out of tight positions and free the rook to move around the board. You can only castle when the King is not in check. Also, the Rook and King that are castling can not have moved once during the game

[Vijay Khadake]

yeh i remember
Another requirement to castle is that there can not be any pieces between the Rook and King. it dosent really help you get check mate but it helps during the game

[Chess Ninja]

I usually like to bring forward my knights early in the game and then strategically use the queen. I have been testing various moves and sometimes it leads to failures but I am sure it will be fruitful someday.

Of course, it is fun to play with your beginner friends and get lucky with 2,3 or 4-move checkmate. 😀

[chessbook]

I suggest you read more endgame books. Their is a good one by Silman called Complete Endgame Course. A good checkmate sequence is always prepared early in the Middle and opening play. It’s like when you consider the Greek gift, you need to plan ahead, because one wrong move and the hunter becomes the hunted.
