Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungumuntu osaqalayo ofuna ukuqonda okuyisisekelo noma umshisekeli ohlose ukulola amakhono akho, lesi sihloko sizokuqondisa ezintweni ezibalulekile ze-chess, okuhlanganisa ukusethwa kwebhodi, imithetho, ukunyakaza kweziqephu, namathiphu wamasu.

Ukusethwa Kwebhodi

I-Chess idlalwa ebhodini lesikwele elingu-8×8, lishintshana phakathi kwezikwele ezingu-32 ezikhanyayo nezimnyama. Ibhodi limiswe ngokulinganayo, liqinisekisa ukuthi umdlali ngamunye uqala ngezicucu ezifanayo ezihlelwe ngendlela efanayo.

Ukucushwa Kwebhodi Le-Chess

Ukhiye:

• WR : I-White Rook
• WN : White Knight

• WQ : Indlovukazi Emhlophe
• WK : Inkosi Emhlophe
• WP : I-White Pawn
• BR : Black Rook
• BN : Iqhawe Elimnyama
• BB : Umbhishobhi omnyama
• BQ : Indlovukazi Emnyama
• BK : Inkosi Emnyama
• BP : I-Black Pawn

Imigqa inezinombolo ezingu-1-8 kanti amakholomu abhalwe ngo-AH. Izingcezu ezimhlophe zivame ukusethwa kumugqa 1 no-2, kuyilapho izingcezu ezimnyama zibekwe emigqeni 7 kanye no-8.

Idlalwa kanjani i-Chess

Inhloso enkulu ku-chess ukuhlola inkosi yombangi. Lokhu kwenzeka lapho inkosi isesimweni sokuthunjwa (“isheke”) futhi ingakwazi ukuphunyuka ekubanjweni.

Izinyathelo Zokudlala Okuyisisekelo:

1. Ukuvula : Thuthukisa izingcezu zakho ukuze ulawule isikhungo sebhodi.
2. I-Middlegame : Sebenzisa amaqhinga namasu ukuze uthwebule izingcezu zesitha futhi udale izikhundla ezinenzuzo.
3. Ukuphela komdlalo : Yenza ibhodi ibe lula futhi ugxile ekuphromotheni ama-pawn, uhlose ukuhlola inkosi yombangi.

Abadlali bayashintshana, behambisa isiqeshana esisodwa ngesikhathi. Ukwenza umnyakazo kuyimpoqo; akukho “ukudlula” ku-chess.

Chess Izingcezu Nokunyakaza

Uhlobo ngalunye lwesiqeshana luhamba ngephethini ehlukile, echaza amandla namandla ocezu. Ukuqonda lezi kubalulekile ukuze ukwazi kahle umdlalo.

Uhlu Lwezingcezu Ze-Chess Nokunyakaza Kwazo:

• Inkosi : Ihambisa isikwele esisodwa noma ikuphi. Inkosi ingenza futhi ukunyakaza okukhethekile okubizwa ngokuthi “castling” ngaphansi kwezimo ezithile.
• Indlovukazi : Ihambisa noma iyiphi inombolo yezikwele kumugqa, ikholomu, noma idayagonali.

Imithetho

• Bheka : Uma inkosi isengozini yokubanjwa ngokushesha.
• Checkmate : Isheke inkosi engakwazi ukuphunyuka kulo, eqeda umdlalo.
• I-Stalemate : Uma umdlali ohambayo engenakho umnyakazo osemthethweni futhi inkosi yabo ayibheki. Lokhu kubangela umdwebo.
• Dweba : Ngaphandle kokusimama, ukudonsa kungenzeka ngesivumelwano, ukuphindaphinda okuphindwe kathathu, noma umthetho womnyakazo wamashumi amahlanu.

Amathiphu Amasu Wokukhuphula Umdlalo Wakho

1. Lawula Isikhungo : Ukubusa isikhungo kuvumela izingcezu zakho ukuhamba nokulawula ngaphezulu kwebhodi.
2. Cabanga Phambili : Hlala ucabangela izimpendulo ezingase zibe khona zomphikisi wakho.
3. Vikela Inkosi Yakho : Ekuqaleni komdlalo, ukulingisa kuyisinyathelo esinamandla sokuvikela inkosi yakho.
4. Isakhiwo se-Pawn : Gcina ama-pawn akho ahlelwe ngendlela esekela ezinye izingcezu zakho.

I-Chess ayigcini nje ngokudlala ngamasu kodwa futhi imayelana nokubona izinto kusengaphambili. Ukufunda imidlalo yakudala kungaba indlela ebalulekile yokuthuthukisa ukuqonda kwakho nekhono.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi idlalwa ngokunganaki nabangane noma ngokuncintisana kumakilabhu nemiqhudelwano, i-chess inikeza uhambo olungapheli lokufunda nokuthuthukiswa kwengqondo. Yamukela inselele futhi ujabulele umlando onothile nokujula kwamasu kwalo mdlalo ongaphelelwa yisikhathi.
