Chess is a two-player board game played on a chessboard, a checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. Chess is played by millions of people worldwide, both amateurs and professionals.
Each player begins the game with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently. The most powerful piece is the queen and the least powerful piece is the pawn. The objective is to 'checkmate' the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. To this end, a player's pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's pieces, while supporting their own. In addition to checkmate, the game can be won by voluntary resignation by the opponent, which typically occurs when too much material is lost, or if checkmate appears unavoidable. A game may also result in a draw in several ways.
Chess is believed to have originated in India, some time before the 7th century; the Indian game of chaturanga is also the likely ancestor of xiangqi and shogi. The pieces took on their current powers in Spain in the late 15th century; the rules were finally standardized in the 19th century.
A chess title is a title created by a chess governing body and bestowed upon players based on their performance and rank. Such titles are usually granted for life. The most prestigious titles are those granted by the international chess governing body FIDE; many national chess federations also grant titles such as "National Master".
In general, a chess master is a player of such skill that he or she can usually beat most amateurs. Among chess players, the term is often abbreviated to master, the meaning being clear from context.
The establishment of the world chess body, Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE), saw the creation of titles superior to the "national master" titles. In 1950 FIDE created the titles "Grandmaster" and "International Master", the requirements for which were increasingly formalized over the years. In 1978 FIDE created the lesser title of "FIDE Master".
From the beginning of recorded chess, to the establishment of the first chess organizations, the term master was applied informally, being simply a matter of popular acclaim. Strong players demonstrated their strength in play, and gained the informal reputation of being chess masters.

This is video #4 from the "Beginner to Chess Master" playlist. Presented are the definitions of the 3 types of files in chess along with some examples of what that looks likes. Understanding file types will be especially useful for our major pieces and knowing where they function well. Another term, pawn break, is given a definition as well. An incomplete example game, only 14 moves deep, is shared where we can observe the moments at which the file types change, along with what it is that creates this change. Sharing these terms along with their definitions is a start to developing a very important part of a chess player's game, namely his/her "internal dialogue".

You have probably heard of the chess adage, 'Put your rooks on open files', but like any well meaning piece of advice it only tells half the story for chess is far too dynamic a game to be held in such simplistic terms. Other factors influencing the control and occupation of an open file include, the position of the king, the activity of minor pieces, available outposts and development of the chessmen. The video explores these themes as they relate to a game of chess and particularly the control of open files, the availability or otherwise of points of penetration (without this an open file is essentially useless) and filtering ones pieces into the opponents position via the open file and the square of penetration.

An open file in chess is a file with no pawns of either color on it. An open file can provide a line of attack for a rook or queen. Having rooks and/or queens on open files and/or half-open files is considered an advantage as it allows one to attack more easily, as the rook or queen can move down the file to penetrate the opposing position. A common strategic objective for a rook or queen on an open file is to reach its seventh or eighth rank. Controlling the seventh rank is generally worth at least a pawn, as most of the opposing pawns reside there. Many games are decided based on this strategy. In the game Anand-Ivanchuk, Amber, 2001, Anand sacrificed a pawn to open the d-file. White then used the open file to deploy his rooks to the seventh and eighth ranks and win the game by exploit...

The idea is simple: open the h-file and bring the King forward; jump a Knight into g5/g4 with check, follow up with the Queen and force checkmate. In reality, there’s a lot more to it. Sometimes the King can refuse the Greek Gift sacrifice. Other times it can be accepted as the King can escape to f8 then e7. In some situations, the King can even come forward to g6 and be safe. The temptation to play the Greek Gift sacrifice must, therefore, be ...
