Problem Solving Skills In Math Concepts And Chess Strategy

Problem solving skills using math concepts can result in several winning strategies for your chess board game. In our last article we used several tips using math concepts for chess strategy. To refresh your mind on the first math concept, we stated that numbers never change. This is important because to have a chess strategy, there needs to be a constant, some truth that never changes. Think about the moves chess pieces are allowed. Each chess piece has a specific function and only moves in set patterns.

Specific chess piece moves you need to know. The King, the Queen, the Bishop, the Rook, the Castle and each pawn move differently, but only within their boundaries. You can never move a King like a Queen moves. Therefore, since you can never get the wrong answer if you perform math problems correctly; you can never get the wrong move if you know exactly what move is allowed for each chess piece. The first step then is to learn the chess piece moves and then use your problem solving skills to develop a good chess strategy.

Next, remember that although another chess player can frustrate your chess board game plan they can never change your number combinations. You can learn different move combinations using math that other players cannot guess. Go back to learning the chess moves well and then learn basic combinations. As you use them, you use even more problem solving skills from knowing math concepts to creatively develop more combinations.

The third step is to use your basic move combinations often. Do not shy away from thinking up chess strategy combinations. Change your chess strategy often as you need to, but never change your number combinations. The more you play, the more you will understand and apply basic math concepts. To reiterate, basic number combinations can change only in view of the allowed moves of the chess piece. You can rest your mind, knowing you can never make a mistake if you know that math combinations never change. Math makes up the rules, not a person.

The fourth step puts the fun into the chess game. While you are using your problem solving techniques to find basic combinations and develop strategies, balance what you have learned with the tremendous ability you now have to make up a variety of chess moves and winning strategies. Always have another strategy in your mind, do not let an opponent break your concentration. Learn to use math concepts freely and you will quickly learn to love playing chess.

In conclusion, remember that you can rely on your problem solving skills with basic math concepts to give you sure winning strategies for life or for your chess board game. Remember that the combinations of numbers are unlimited within the allowed moves each chess piece can make. Get emotionally involved in loving to win using math concepts that never change. Learning the chess piece moves and practicing nonstop is the only way to develop good strategies. Do not give up. Use the problem solving skills you have and even learn more so you can have the chess strategy you need when you want it. When you learn the chess piece moves well you will learn winning chess strategies too. Have a great time playing chess and other board games.
