Shah Chessboard Lineup
There are a total of 2 shahs in chess, including 1 black and 1 white. Each player has only one king. Protect your king very well! Because king chess is undoubtedly the most valuable stone of the game. Losing or winning the game depends on this stone. Let’s remember how the stones were placed on the chessboard, and reinforce what we’ve learned so far. On the chessboard, castles are placed in the corner squares, horses next to castles, elephants are placed right next to their horses. The white queen is placed in the white square next to the elephant, while the black queen is placed in the black square next to the elephant. The shah is placed in the last empty square, i.e. in the empty square next to the queen. Now let’s learn in all the details of how the king goes and how to place the age.
Shah’s Movements
The shah can only go up to one square unless there is a stone in front of you in horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions in all directions. If a stone of its own color comes up in front of the shah’s way of motion, he can’t move because he can’t eat his own stone. If a competitor gets in front of a stone, the opponent eats the stone and settles in the square of the opposing stone. The Shah can’t go to a square where another stone can eat the king. Therefore, the king is the only stone that does not renew in the chess game. And the two shahs can’t come side by side throughout the game.
In chess, each stone has a star based on its severity and strength. The more stars a stone has, the more important and powerful it is. The number of stars has no direct impact on the game. But the number of stars is very important for the player to know how valuable that stone is. In the chess game, The Shah has an infinite number of stars. So the king is an invaluable stone. Protect your king well. You can use the “Guide Card” specially prepared for the Shah by getting printoutfrom the printer.
In this lesson, we learned how the king goes, what are the movements and characteristics. You can also watch this course as a video if you want. Our next lesson is the most limited but different feature of the chess game (pawn promotion) and the stone pawn.
