Useful Chess Tip

If a Knight is positioned with one diagonal square between an opponents piece or pawn...it will take the knight at least three moves before it can attack said piece. Knowing this...you can for example, keep a pesky king checking knight at bay by positioning your king or even your queen or rook as indicated. I have had many games, of using this tactic to my advantage. :]
if you place a piece or even a pawn so that there is one diagonal square between the piece and the knight... is the indication.
Indicated in his previous sentence you goofball lel.

Here's another pro chess tip; if your king cant move and you are in check; you got checkmated.
Pro chess tip...Always check...It maybe mate. :] What a surprise it is when, when your casual check ...turns out to be mate, and you didn't see the mate! :]
I do not understand, do you mean something like this.
No he means the following: if Black plays ...Ne5+ Kg3 protects the King the longest time against further checks. Actually it’s the „Alfil“ (ancient chess piece) distance, a piece which moved two squares on a diagonal.
Always try to find an effective battle array tactic.

Stagger the pieces and give them some mobility.
Don't leave them clustered up or lined up to be pinned down or skewered.

The more you hone a particular tactic the more you will want to use it in your games.

A tactic you do not see or use in your game, is a weakness. Knowing your tactical weaknesses is import. I know I do not practice enough tactical attractions. It is not easy to find a place to practice only one type of tactic.
