Chess

Checkmate! The aim of chess is to trap the opponent's King. That's called a checkmate. A grandmaster is a very, very experienced player in chess. Here are some tactics that most people know: Fried Liver, Fool's Mate, forks, pins and skewers, Scholar's Mate (also known as the Four Move Checkmate), Smothered Mate, Two Rook or a "One Queen One Rook" Checkmate (the Queen takes the Rook's power) and King and Queen Checkmate.There are more tactics such as windmills, dicoveries, sacrifices, Fox in the chicken coup, The Deep Freeze, Lucena's position, Saavedra position, Philidors defense in the opening and endgame,etc. Chess is a fun sport and is not there to make people cry when they lose, but to have fun and be a good sport. Remember that.
