Novice Nook #72 — Well, we've moved into the 2007 articles with this week's entry. It's entitled "Trading Pawns When Ahead" and provides a number of straightforward examples of when to trade and when not to trade pawns. For the most part, pretty simple, but worth a look.

Can you castle onto an occupied square? — Can you legally castle if your king's target square is occupied by an enemy piece?
I looked up the castling rules on Wikipedia and FIDE, and found nothing to prohibit the king from castling onto an occupied square. I assume the king would capture the enemy piece on the target square just as it, play online chess ...

Who hates 1e4, e5? — I have a total hatred of symmetrical king pawn openings and have not participated in one for years and hundreds of games. I am not sure if this is because these games don't suit my style as black or white, or if it is because these games remind me of when I was learning to play and loosing almost e, play online chess ...
Are quick draws ever a good thing? — I don't think so.
However I did agree to a very quick draw two weekends ago in a situation where I didn't feel comfortable. Looking back on the game and the position, I still don't know whether I made a good decision or not. But I think my position could not have been much worse if it was any , play online chess ...

Gambits and Sacrifices — I recently have been messing around with a new opening--e5, d5, then d4. This I believe is called the queen's gambit but I could be wrong. I don't know much about gambits--I haven't had time to read many books--but I would be interested in learning more about them. I don't know the whole sequence, play online chess ...
Annotated games.. How to improve ? — Hi there !
I'm trying to improve the quality of my annotated games.. But it's quiet hard to find out what people like about the annotations..

Pieces score in endgames. — I watched many endgames in which a player who has only a Rook doesn't win against another player who has only a bishop. Searching in Internet about this fact, I've found 90% Rook vs Bishop is a draw. And I know a player who has 2 bishops (without pawns) can win against a lonely king, while 2 knights, play online chess ...

French Defence, What do you play as White. — Hi there,
A question for players who play the French defence as their main opening.

What was your thinking in choosing these setups ? ... f, play online chess ...
1.e4= Best by test. — 1.e4 is the most used first-move in chess. But someone (like me) plays other openings like 1.c4 or 1.d4 or even 1.e3. But if they say e4 is the best move, why so much people uses other openings? Maybe 'cause a player feels better with c4 or d4....(like for me), but I'd like to compare me with you, G, play online chess ...
Around Dutch defence — a) Dutch defence (1. d4 f5) isn't very popular in top rated ames, is it? How do you think - why?

Simplification — 'Simplification'
this is something I do a lot these days, the process of trying to win, even by the smallest of margins because I know what I need to secure the mate.
