Play online chess |  Subject: tactics for defeating castled kings
Message:
I need some tactics for defeating castled kings, I can deal with them in the middle of the board but not when they are castled. Some set pieces for breaking through the defending pieces would be good.

Chess grandmasters use twice the brain : Study — It may take years of hard work to become a chess grandmaster, but it gives a real boost to the brain – for working out chess problems, at least. It seems expert chess players use both sides of their brain to process chess tasks, rather than just one. Merim Bilalic at the University of TĂĽbingen in Germany used fMRI to scan the brains of eight international chess players and eight novices while they identified either geometrical shapes or whether the pieces on a chess board were in a check situation. The expert players were quicker at solving the chess problem, activating areas on both sides of their brains as they did so. The novices used just the left side. Bilalic had expected ...
