3.10 Chess with limited Material: The Pawn's Competition with the King's Participation

Описание: 3.10 Chess Using Limited Materials: The Pawns’ Competition with the King's Participation.
This is the same as game no. 9, but with the king
participating in the pawn-battle. Obviously, this makes the game more interesting. Instead of the king you may use other pieces, e.g. a rook, a knight or a bishop. This will give the game quite a different dynamic!


Simple chess games/exercises using limited material (chess pieces) can be used to help pupils internalize the rules and teach them how to move the pieces. Such exercises can well be used during chess lessons at primary schools; pupils learn the rules and have great fun! As we know from our chess teachers, pupils love these lessons more than anything else!

The 18 chess games/exercises using limited materials were kindly arranged for "Chess for Africa" by Björn Lengwenus during the chess training at the Mambo Primary School/ Soweto, April 2014, assisted by Stefan Becker. The explanation on the black board is given by Jabulani Banda/Soweto.
A THANK YOU to all who made these films available!


SURVEY
We shall start with the exercises number 1 to 4, i.e. with simpler moves for the absolute beginners, by using cookies. In case you do not have enough cookies on hand, you may use clean plastic bottle tops instead.
We consider game 3.5, game 3.6 as well as game 3.8 to be of special importance. All of them are real little games and are of FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE for letting the pupils internalize the moves and the specific dynamics of the pieces.
Game 3.6 and 3.8 allow a large variety of modifications according to your needs, as you go on with explaining the value and dynamics of the pieces to the pupils. The game will be a lot of fun for the children. Letting them learn in a playful way is the first step for enabling them to work out the game in their minds (“WORKING IN ONE’SMIND”). This is of utmost importance for encouraging the mental development of children aged 4 to 9 years.

Practical hint: The pupils should be given the possibility of playing chess games using full or limited materials outside the school schedule. PDF-files for this are available:

This could be experienced at your primary school; see
