Chess tests your foresight, patience, strategic thinking, and ability to get into your opponent's mind.It takes a long time to achieve grandmaster status.The title is regulated by an international organization and requires you to meet specific competitive achievements.
Step 1: Learn how to use tactics.
The move sequence that is designed to achieve specific advantage is called a tactics sequence.The latter refers to longer-term piece development with an end in mind.There are opportunities to use tactics and how to execute them.Double attacks are when two opposing pieces are under attack at the same time and unable to counter- attack each other.The only piece that can attack while wedged between horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lanes is the knight.One offensive piece is used to cover another.If a queen has a diagonal line on a rook but is covered by your knight, you can move the knight out of the way and create an attack opportunity for her.Your opponent's key pieces may be at risk if they don't pay attention to a covered piece.One piece is placed on a line of attack against the king with another piece in the way.The king must be sacrificed in order for the opposing piece to move.If you place a bishop diagonal to a king with a knight in the way, your opponent will have to sacrifice the knight.
Step 2: You can develop your knowledge of strategies.
Once you reach advanced-level play, you will need to start each match with a core strategy in mind.General attempts to control portions of the board will set you up for effective endgame tactics later on.More precise directions for how to move early on in the match are provided by the Sicilian Defense and the Nimzo Defense.If you don't use these precise strategies, you should learn about them so you can recognize their use by your opponents.Attempts to get the largest amount of board coverage are referred to as spacing strategies.Spacing is about slowly moving offensive pieces into your opponent's territory so that you can advance your pawns for defense and support.Many core strategies focus on controlling the center.The four spaces in the middle of the board are referred to as the center.Pawns are moved toward the center spaces with offensive pieces supporting them.Exchange pieces if you find yourself in a defensive position.When sacrificing and trading pieces of equal value, it's called exchanging.
Step 3: There are situations to execute.
The final stage of the match is when there are very few pieces on the board.There is more space to move in endings than in middle and early strategies.A strong game-long strategy that gives you an advantage can be undone if you don't know how to protect yourself.Pawns can be promoted if they reach the backline.It is beneficial to keep stalemates with offensive pieces until you can promote your pawns.As the board opens up, you will want to move your king closer to the middle to make it easier to get out of checks and support other pieces.As the board opens up, the king's ability to move in all 8 directions makes it more valuable as an offensive piece.
Step 4: It is advisable to practice often.
It's important to practice as often as possible.If you play against other high-level players that understand advanced tactics and strategy, you will be challenged and can see how advanced players will react to your own strategies.Join a chess club.Most club players have some advanced understanding of the game and are looking to improve their skills, making them ideal both as competition and friends.Use your preferred internet search engine to find groups.Chess.com is a live site that is free to play on.You will get matched against other advanced players as you build your score.
Step 5: Get a membership to the chess board.
The Fédération Internationale des checs (FIDE), also known as the World Chess Federation, grants Grandmaster status to chess players.You don't have to have experience to become a member, you can join through their website.The membership costs 25 per year.Premium memberships are available for 50.
Step 6: At the tournaments, score 3 norms.
You need to attend tournaments for your rating to be developed.One of the requirements for a Grandmaster ranking is to get 3 high-level finishes at these tournaments.Fees can be as high as $200 in these tournaments.The size and quality of the tournament is what determines a finishing rank.A relatively small tournament might require you to win first place in order to achieve a norm while a large tournament only requires a quarterfinals placement.
Step 7: A rating of 2500 is possible.
As you compete in tournaments, your rating increases.The quality of the tournament, your record, and the rating of your opponents are all used to calculate your rating.You can find your rating by searching for it on the website.
