Chess Tournament

I was so good at chess that they picked me to enter the school chess tournament.A few of my friends Colin,Jeremy,Robert,and Shirshir coincidentally got picked too.Colin was 1.Jeremy was 2.Robert was 3.I was 4.Shirshir was the alternative.Jeremy won the first round.I won the first round.Colin won the first round.Robert also won the first round.We won the second round.The alternative had to play once so I let him take my spot this round.Our team won the third round.We won the fourth round except Jeremy.We won the last one.We ate cake and took pictures.We won with no doubt.We were incredibly ahead of them.

What is each chess pieces value in a chess game?

All chess pieces have a different move it can do.
  • Ponds can move one space forward.If you have not moved the pond yet then you can move the pawn two spaces forward.En pas set is a move that is used by the pond.It is when the opponent's pond moves two spaces forward and your pond is right next to it from left to right by one space.You can move on space sideways north in the direction the pond is.You also capture the piece.Ponds are good with the bishops.This piece is worth one point.
  • Rooks can move straight, go left to right,and backwards.You can do the move castle with a rook and a king.All you have to make sure is that you have not done is that you have moved the rook or king.You have to make the king go two steps to the rook and the rook has to go over one step of the king from the oppisite direction.You can not do this move if you have go past check when you try to do this move.This piece is worth five points.
  • Bishops can move sideways.This piece is worth three points.
  • Knights can move in a L shape direction.Knights are good with queens.This piece is worth three points.
  • Queens can move sideways,left to right ,and move forward and backward.This piece is worth nine points.
  • Kings can move forward one space left,right,sideways,forward,and backwards.This piece could be used for a move called castle.This piece is worth the whole game also meaning if you lose this piece you lose the game.

Chess

Points in Chess is used when you do not have enough time to play.Every piece counts and the better piece the more it is worth.For example...
  • A queen equals 9points
  • A rook equals 5points
  • A knight equals 3points
  • A bishop equals 3points
  • A pawn equals 1points

If you get the most points after the time limit you win.

Remember if you lose the king you lose.Chess is a strategic game so always think what your will do next.This board game is fun on rainy days or days where you get bored.I will also tell you how to do the castle.You can only do the castle if you have not moved your rook or king.You can not also do a castle past check and if you do not have any pieces in the way.You do a castle by moving the king two steps to the rook and the rook goes to the other side of the direction the king went.Another move is en pas sent.En pas sent is a move only used by the ponds.The move can only work if the opponent moves there pond two steps forward and is beside you.You move your pawn sideways in th direction of the opponent's pond in one step.You also take the piece.
