Proud coach moment ♟️🔥 My 8-year-old student successfully applied absolute pins, relative pins, and pin escapes in a real game today after learning them through puzzles. The game lasted 83 moves… and he eventually defeated me. Growth like this is always beautiful to see.

For learners ♟️ A passed pawn is a pawn with no enemy pawn blocking its path to promotion. Passed pawns become extremely dangerous in the endgame. Just like the diagram below

@JadaJay01 Yes In 2 months, Matt can realistically learn: * How all the pieces move * Basic opening principles * Checkmate patterns * Simple tactics (forks, pins, skewers) However,he would still be at the beginners level for that period of time

@Johnonabote In Blitz you don't usually have enough time to think. For classical, I find it very difficult to concentrate on a particular thing for a long time.

For learners ♟️ The center squares in chess are: e4, d4, e5, and d5. I.e THE MIDDLE OF THE CHESS BOARD Players fight for these squares because controlling the center gives your pieces more freedom and activity.

@Johnonabote Underpromotions and queenside castles are often unknown to some casual players. As is the rule that you can't castle through a check, which I have used to commit the only acts of cheating in chess in my life lol. I usually admitted it later and told them the rule.

For learners ♟️ There are 3 special moves in chess: • Castling • En passant • Pawn promotion Many beginners know promotion, but en passant is the one that surprises most player

I coached my Alma Mater to a 3rd place Finish out of 106 schools at the National School Team Chess Championship, an event i won the Tertiary Category in 2024 as the captain of the UNILAG chess team. To say I’m proud of these boys would be an understatement.
