TOURNAMENT NEXT WEEKEND - MARCH 21
Refer to previous posts for details or register online at schoolchess.org

Today we learned some end game principles.
1) When your opponent has fewer than 10 pts in pieces (not counting pawns) your king should join the battle
2) Your rook can be used to prevent your opponent's king from getting where it wants to
3) Guard the queening square, but the 2 squares next to the queening square are equally important.
4) Place your pawns on the same color as your opponent's Bishop
5) The queen becomes a powerful forker on an open board
