Run exhibition games without your Queen. If you can manage a few wins without her. You will become a force to be reckoned with on any Chess board. She is the most valuable piece. Those who master all of the Royalty pieces win more games. Learn your throne. Master the board. #THESTORM

Feel free to introduce yourselves and your ideas. All techniques and styles welcomed here.

What makes a good Chess player? Is it Focus? Endurance? For me I would have to say persistence! Without relentlessly assaulting the battle field your skills will never sharpen!

A Knight is an honorable warrior instructed with the duty of protecting his King and Queen. The role of a Knight on a Chess board is the same. A Knight moves three spaces up and one space over left or right non diagonal. Its attack is sneaky and fierce. Players often forget the Knight is there and meet their maker. Disguise your Knights protect them and intern they will protect you. A Knight should always be along side the King and Queen. You are given two. Some players use both to protect the King as the Queen is the most vicious piece on the Board and needs no protection like a Lioness. #THESTORM

Patterns, players develop different techniques to engage on the board. Novice players tend to use the same “tricks” so to speak. Don’t be a Novice. Create multiple opening methods to increase your odds. Never open the same way twice. Never get used to a strategy. Be prepared to switch. You never know who your opponents can be. Stay swift. Stay sharp. Your mind is your strongest weapon. #THESTORM
