make fool your opponent in chess

  1. Think of a plan. Usually, when you fool an opponent, you should sacrifice a piece for more value in the game or an easy checkmate.

  2. 2
    Lets say your opponent is black and castled king-side. He has not moved the rook or pawns and your queen is pinning the center pawn. Your bishop is about go to [h6] and prepare for checkmate when your opponent prepares to take a protected piece with all safety measures possible, but if he takes, he will lose defense to his king. What do you do? If you move the protected piece, you lost a move, but if you move the protector, you can win. So you move the protector to some other hanging place(it would be the best place to move it) and your opponent takes the piece. BAM! Your bishop threatens mate at [h6] and your opponent is hopeless.

  3. 3
    After you think of the threat(the plan) you must think of a way to trick your opponent. If your opponent is weak, you could just leave a hanging piece and he/she might fall for the trick. If your opponent is strong you might need a little more than a hanging piece.

  4. 4
    Resorting to traps might work at the lower levels, under 1200 say, but the better you get and the stronger the people you face, the more you will need to understand how to outplay your opponent positionally, as well as tactically.



  5. 5
    In the end, winning at chess is about thinking further and understanding the position better than your opponent.
