Purpose-Driven Strategy: Making Every Move Count
One of the best strategies in chess is to always have a useful purpose for each move we make. Many novices will just move any piece on their turn to just keep the game going. This is a wasted move in chess. Our play must be purpose-driven. It's like actual combat—we must make every bullet count.
We may use the purpose driven strategy either to our benefit or to the enemy's detriment. We may do both. We make sure that every move we make in a game improves our play and gets us closer to our goal, while we make sure the enemy makes nothing but mostly rubbish moves that gain nothing. The first thing here then is to make a goal.
What's the purpose of our game? Of course, to win. We make that a bit more specific. Our aim is to checkmate the enemy king. Then we subdivide that goal into smaller feasible objectives. For instance, our objective number one is to take a rook nearest the king. Then, block the enemy queen. Then move in with a checkmate. Having formulated an overall plan with small objectives, we then make sure that every move we make contributes to the small objectives.
First is we take the rook guarding the king. We make sure that all our initial moves are geared to this objective. If we make any wasted move in chess that does not contributed to this aim we lose that turn and give the enemy a lead on us. If we plan to take the enemy rook with a knight, we must move the knight into position. We may do some decoy moves to cover the knight's positioning, but the decoy should also serve a purpose—probably as a support to checking the rook or in the checkmate itself.
When we have taken the rook we proceed to disable the enemy queen. When the queen is trapped and unable to rescue the king, we may proceed with the kill.
If we want to waste as many moves of the enemy as possible, we simply check the enemy king as often. Whenever a turn is devoted to merely escaping a check against the king or queen, that turn is wasted. Hence, we keep checking the king or queen and force the enemy to do a lot of wasted moves in chess.
Thus, bear in mind to always have a reason for our moves. Make the play purpose-driven and the purpose will serve our winning at chess.
