How to lay out the chess board

As a traditional Chinese intellectual game, chess has a long history and a broad mass base. For beginners, placing the chess board correctly is the first step. This article will introduce in detail how to place the chess board, and combine it with the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to help readers better understand and master the basic rules of chess.

1. Basic structure of chess board

The chess board is composed of 9 vertical lines and 10 horizontal lines crossing each other, with a total of 90 intersection points. There is a "Chu River and Han Boundary" in the middle of the chessboard, which divides the chessboard into two camps: red and black. Here are the main components of a chessboard:

4. Common mistakes in chess board placement

Beginners often make the following mistakes when setting up a chess board:

1. Put "Jiang" and "Shuai" in the wrong position, resulting in the inability to play chess normally.

2. The positions of artillery and soldiers/pawns are confused, which affects the opening strategy.

3. Ignoring the symbolic meaning of the "Chu River and Han Boundaries" resulted in unclear division of camps.

5. Things to note when placing a chess board

1. Make sure the red side is on the bottom and the black side is on the top, in line with traditional playing habits.

2. The orientation of the chess pieces should be consistent. For example, "Jiang" and "Shuai" should face each other.

3. The chessboard should be placed on a flat tabletop to avoid tilting the game.

Combined with recent hot topics, chess is not only a way of entertainment, but also a good tool to exercise thinking and cultivate patience.
