It is incredibly frustrating to play chess. Unless you are a genious and expert at chess, you ARE going to feel frustration.

It is not as straight forward as fighting bad breath with a product line like therabreath.  No. Chess has many twists and turns to it.  A game can be agoniziing when you are down even a point.

It is good to take a portable oral irrigator with you when travelling to chess tournaments. Stress can take a toll on your dental health, even if you are using Oramd or something like it.

In case you were not aware of the point system that allows decent players to know who has the upper hand, her is the run down:

Queen – She is worth 9 points because of her ability to move multiple spaces in multiple directions.  The only peice that can move in a way that she can not is the horse or cavalry.

Rook: The rook or ‘castle’ is worth 5 points.  Locking two rooks together so that they protect each other and can work in tandem to trap a king are both well utilized tactics in chess.

The Bishop is worth 3 points. The bishop is able to move diagonally on the same color squares as the one it starts the game on.  Bishops are often held on a corner of the board and used for long distance strikes when your opponent has forgotten about them and therefore is not defending himself / herself very well.

The Horse: The horse can move in what is described as an ‘L’ shaped pattern. This movement has also been described as ‘one up and two over’.

Pawns – Pawns can only move forward, not backward and they can only move one square at a time except for one special circumstance. The power of the pawn is in interlocking patterns and its ability to become a queen or any other peice should it reach the opponents back rank.
