CHESS TIPS

Written by Fide Master and former Australian Postal champion Bill Jordan.

There are a lot of ideas here, so you might learn something, whatever your chess experience.

Tips have been divided into the 3 potential phases of the game, plus sections on tactics and strategy.

Each section contains a lot of text, so a suggestion is to save the page to your hard drive and read it offline, at your leisure. Another suggestion is to have a chess board and set handy as you read it, as you may wish to create your own example positions to help you remember key concepts.

It is fairly concise, so take it slowly.

  • Opening
  • Middlegame
  • Endgame
  • Tactics
  • Strategy

    You might like a look at an online chess course which is being developed. Currently there are 8 questions suitable for novices, though the last question could be off interest to experienced players, I hope to expand this in the future.
