What is a Blitz Chess and How To Play?
Blitz Chess is a fast-paced and exciting variant of traditional chess. In Blitz Chess, each player has significantly less time on the clock to make their moves compared to standard chess, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes per game for each player. The objective remains the same: checkmate your opponent's king while avoiding a checkmate of your own.

What Is Blitz Chess & How to Play?
Origin of Blitz Chess Terms: Blitz Chess, as a concept, has been around for decades, but it gained prominence in the mid-20th century. The specific terms used in Blitz Chess are mostly derived from traditional chess terminology, adapted to the faster pace of the game. Terms like "check," "checkmate," and "castling" apply in the same way as they do in standard chess.
How to Play Blitz Chess:
Set Up: Use a standard chessboard and pieces. Both players have a limited amount of time, typically 3 to 5 minutes, to make all their moves.
Objective: The objective is the same as in standard chess - to checkmate your opponent's king.
Time Control: Each player's total game time is limited, and the clock counts down from the agreed-upon time limit. If a player's time runs out, they lose the game.
Quick Moves: Because of the limited time, players must make quick decisions and move rapidly.
Tactics and Moves in Blitz Chess: Blitz Chess requires rapid thinking and execution of tactics. Some key strategies and moves include:
Opening Theory: Focus on simple and familiar openings to save time.
Piece Development: Develop your pieces efficiently in the opening to control the center.
King Safety: Ensure your king is safe and consider castling early.
Tactics: Look for quick tactical opportunities, such as pins, forks, and skewers.
Time Management: Monitor your clock and avoid time-consuming moves.
Endgame Skills: Practice basic endgame techniques to convert an advantage quickly.
Blitz Chess is known for its exciting and unpredictable nature, making it a thrilling variant for those who love chess and thrive under time pressure.

Trades, Sacrifices – How to handle your chess game?
“How to handle our pieces well?” is a question often faced by chess players. Placing them on optimal squares and using them to their full potential is important.
Making exchanges/ trades and sacrifices are a critical part of handling your pieces well. The one who knows how to do these correctly benefits a lot from this understanding!
Let’s take a thorough look into what exactly trades and sacrifices are!
What are trades?
Trading pieces means you exchange your pieces with that of your opponent — which is of similar value. It can be when you
Exchange your queen (9 points) with their queen (9 points).
Exchange your bishop(3 points) for their knight (3 points).
Exchanging pawns
It’s like you give Rs. 20, and buy chocolate that’s worth Rs.20 in a supermarket. A fair trade!
Trading pieces is one of the most fundamental elements of chess. They happen in every game and without them, the game can’t really progress. Since they are inevitable, you need to have a good understanding of how to make these exchanges correctly.
Good Trades vs Bad Trades
Exchanges can be good or bad depending on the positional value of those pieces.
For example, if you capture your opponent’s good bishop that was controlling an important diagonal with your not-so-great bishop – that is a good exchange! You eliminated your opponent’s good piece against your bad piece.
Try to do such trades as much as possible to get a good position.
Similarly, a bad exchange is when you give up your important piece for an average piece of your opponent. Such exchanges are unfavorable for you.
What are sacrifices?
Sacrificing pieces basically means that you intentionally give up your piece which is of a higher value to a piece of lower value of your opponent. Or sometimes you just give up your piece without anything in return at all!
For example –
Giving up your rook (which is 5 points) to capture the opponent’s bishop (3 points)
Giving up a queen(which is 9 points) for your opponent’s pawn (1 point).
But why sacrifice?
Would you give away Rs. 10 for a Re. 1 coin?
Obviously no right?
But what if you do research and realize that if you buy the Re. 1 coin today, the coin will be worth Rs. 100 in the next 3 months in the market? All you have to do is pay Rs.10 right now for the coin.
Most likely, you’ll buy it, depending on how good your research is!
That’s exactly what sacrifice is in chess. It’s a form of investment. You give up something right now, with the intention to get a return in the future.
Making a sacrifice requires some degree of understanding and tactical ability. You must be sharp in your calculations and be able to soundly evaluate the resulting position beforehand. External factors like risk-taking skills, courageousness, and confidence are also important. After all, you are giving up your piece so you must trust your decision!
Also, sacrifices need to have an intention behind them. If not, then you can call them blunders(or bad investments!).
Sacrifices are usually decisive in nature. Unlike trades where the material is balanced after exchanging pieces, sacrifices are usually done for two purposes – to get a better position or to get out of a bad position.
Tumblr media
Types of sacrifices
There are 3 basic types of sacrifices for your understanding –
Gambit – this word is commonly used to describe pawn sacrifices. Usually done in the opening or early middlegame, gambits are made to gain a positional advantage at the cost of a pawn (or two). Most of the time, you gain time by making good piece development or controlling squares while your opponent is busy capturing your pawns.
Piece Sacrifice – it is when you sacrifice any piece other than your pawns. Usually, this is more decisive than pawn sacrifice and leads to a better position in the resulting position or even better – a mate!
Exchange sacrifice – it is when you give up your rook for your opponent’s knight or bishop. It is usually done to control important squares and where your minor piece might have more activity than your opponent’s rook.
Taking the decision to make a sacrifice comes with a lot of experience and training. That’s why our coaches often emphasize solving tactics and mate puzzles. This way, children can build their confidence when it comes to giving with their pieces and evaluating the future position correctly in their mind.
Conclusion? Know your purpose
Knowing the purpose of exchange and a sacrifice really helps in understanding how to use them. The more you play, the better your choices will be regarding the various trades and sacrifices you make.
Good luck and have fun trading and sacrificing your pieces.
If you’re looking for an experienced coach who will guide your child and them improve their game, book a call with us!

How do you play lesbian chess?
=)
Exact same rules as regular chess, but you replace the King with a second queen. Two queen per team for a total of four queens on the board. Check and checkmate? HAHAHAHAHHAH no! You WIPE EACH OTHER OUT TO THE BITTER BLOODY END :D
First person to zero pieces on the board loses.
It doesn't sound like much at first, but if you're familiar with an amount of chess strategies you'll find you and your opponent using wildly new and different plays. It elementally changes how you approach sacrificing pieces, how and when you move which pieces, and how much fun you have.
In classic chess I like to castle my king and hold back my powerful pieces as long as possible while my opponent exhausts their forces then i move in for the kill. In Lesbian chess I strike hard and fast and wipe the board before my enemy gets their bearings.

Chess
When I was a child my older brother taught me how to play chess. I was maybe 5 or 6 and he is 3 years older. He was very smart and in high school demonstrated a genius IQ. I was not quite so much, but still clever enough to be an OK chess player by the time I was 9 or ten. We are NOT talking about one of those chess nerds like that movie "Queens Gambit". I never played against more than one person, but I was in a chess club for a time.
I was able to beat my Brother regularly by the time I was 10. Being good at the game as in really good takes study. I studied chess books and when those were fresh in my mind I did fine. When I slaked off I did not. In school there were other things to study and I was lazy. I was able to beat my brother as he had other things to study as well and was far more serious about that.
I am a fan of the game and no lie I watched the Bobby Fisher, Boris Spassky games on New York Channel 13 TV with rapt attention. I knew enough to understand what they were doing, but do not ask me what a Nimzo-Indian is or any of that. I am also a fan of Ballet, but I cannot dance.
I guess what I am saying is to be really good at it takes very serious study and a great memory to remember hundreds if not thousands of historical games. That is a commitment which leaves little room for anything else. I have a lot of else.
I still enjoy playing and appreciate the new computer things and fan sites like Chess.com. Chess is perfect for computers and AI stuff as it is simple and constrained by rules compared to life. It is pretty much accepted that the best computers are better than the best humans at the game.
I signed up to play the computers at Chess.com and it is fun, if a sad reality check. I am roughly an ELO 1300 level player based on the robots I play and can regularly win against. A chess master is around 2100 and a grand master is over 2500. That is not in the cards for me.
Is there any point to this? Well it turns out that if you do study and play well you can make a living from Chess. There are many bloggers and Vloggers and "content creators" that ply the inter-noise with games and opinion and a bit of fun. I am a fan of several of these including a pair of very pretty sisters who have very good careers going.
They are on Botezlive. https://www.youtube.com/c/BotezLive
Being young and pretty helps. But they are sharp. The older sister is a master level and hangs with the creme de la creme of the chess world. The younger one is not ranked so high, but is still far better than I am. They can be very entertaining. It affords them a lifestyle I can only envy. They travel the world and have fun.
It is part of this phenomenon where games are more valuable than what I call real life. Sports, and games fill the airwaves and bitwaves? They leave nothing of substance behind. There are bridges people drive across every day I had a hand in. Is substance worth anything?
I also spend time playing on line to exercise my brain. I am getting old, and they say use it or lose in applies to brains as much as muscles. I am also teaching my grandchildren how to play.

Magnus speaks about… Chess (and preserving its sanctity)
What the world champion says about Hans Niemann and his illustrious mentor, Maxim Dlugy is less important than his clear intentions to uphold the integrity of the game he loves… all the while performing at a rating of 2900. Yep, if you think he is giving up his world title because he is not playing well - think again.
