This week I am looking at forks with my classes. Forks are where we aim at more than one target with one piece, and the absolute expert piece at forking is the knight. Here are some easy puzzles to get you going.  Once we can see what a knight fork is, the next stage is to be able to make them happen in our games. Here are some slightly harder puzzles.  And how did you go with last week's mate in 2? Here's the answer!

Playing an entire game is too much of an effort for a small child. However, solving individual simple diagrams requires a small effort and brings a large dose of satisfaction. In a book writen by Makism Aksanov (net-boss.org/chess-puzzles-for-kids-by-maksim-aksanov) you will find a series of very simple diagrams which help develop the basic skills of chess in a child. The diagrams in the book have been arranged in order from the easiest to the most difficult. At the beginning the child is told which piece to capture, for example a bishop. Then a few chapters later we can slightly raise the level and in chapter 5 the child is asked to capture a piece but without a hint of which one specifically. Leave a Reply. |
