Posted on 12. Aug, 2009 by beginnerChesster in Article

We have just uploaded our latest article entitled “Chess Special Moves”. This article describes at length three special moves that can be played during a game of chess. Each special move has a distinct strategic advantage and should be learned by the beginner chess player as soon as possible.

The three special moves are:

• Pawn promotion. A pawn can be promoted to another piece when it reaches the back row.
• En Passant. This rule allows a pawn to be taken off the board during the first move under certain circumstances.
• Castling. Castling effectively allows a king to pass though a rook. This move is often played in the early game providing the king with a great defensive position.
