pafchess31 viewsEnglish (US)
How to proceed during a game? Good to know the official rules, but are there some tricks? Find it out by reading this article!

Dear beginners,

welcome to lichess.org! You already know (see Beginners' study #1)

  • how to set up a chess board
  • how the pieces are called
  • how the pieces move
  • how to distinguish check, mate and stalemate

Now, I would like to tell/show you (see Beginners' study #2)

  • when a game is won
  • what to watch out for --> Golden rules
  • how openings, middlegames and endgames should (not) be played

AFTER going through my study, I recommend you to go through some lichess lessons on the website to do some revision and to play some slow games (correspondence, classical, rapid).
