 All chess players have lost games. All chess players have lost games while being in a good position, maybe up some material. It is usually the most painful experience when you lose a chess game that you were winning just a move before. A little, tiny thing you do in one second can ruin previous hours of concentrated work and great amount effort put throughout the game.
The price of a wrong move is too high in chess. For instance, in basketball you can make a mistake, allow your opponent to score and you can keep playing and still have a good chance winning the game. In the game of chess if you drop your queen or miss a mate there is no way you can recover. Chess players are all different, but in one thing they all the same: no one likes losing.

 Today's article will be dedicated to a very beginning type of chess players. Let's assume you already know how to play chess (move pieces, castle, checkmate). That means, you have already reviewed the chess rules or something similar. The next step would probably be playing against some sort of online opponents or maybe even over the board ones.
Chances are, no matter where you have decided to test you chess abilities, online or over the board, the result will not be a very satisfactory one. Since it's one of your very first chess games you will most likely lose. It's perfectly okay. Then, there are two options, either you give up this game right away or you will start looking things up that can help you learn to play better chess. If you still reading this article, the chances are that you belong to the second type of players, want to learn chess and willing to invest some time and effort into it.

Today’s topic is chess art. Here are some pictures of chess pieces’ combination that I have shot with Canon 60D DSLR camera. If you visit TheChessWorld.com on regular basis you probably will find some of these familiar. These are the images I have been using as my article’s pictograms. Some of them (actually most of them) however new and I haven’t published them before. Anyway, it’s better one time to see than 10 times to hear. Enjoy.

 I have always emphasized that tactics is one of the most important elements of chess on any level, and especially for the novice players. By perfecting tactical vision a chess player will be able to "see" more things going on at any chess game.
Not only will tactics helps to attack, fork and checkmate your opponent, but also it will shield you away from the opponent's tricks winning and saving tons of games. Due to the importance of tactics, there are multiple sections on this website dedicated to it: Tactics Gym, Daily Tactics from Shredder and Chess Studies. Feel free to browse them and chose the ones which benefit you the most.

  Here is the continuation of the chess humor series. Many of you like to play chess, some of you also like to watch movies during the 'free of chess' time. How does an action movie like The Transporter can be used to interpret the Game of Kings? At first, it seems like these two things are completely unrelated, but our guest blogger Swriter thinks differently. And not only thinks, but he was kind enough to share his ideas with me us and ... well keep reading
