I can teach you the basics, hunnie.
Lesson #1
The chess game is divided into 3 parts; the opening game, the middle game, and the end game.
The basic of opening game is to set up your pieces so that you have an advantage over your opponent's setup. This can be done in countless way but to make it simple enough, just think battleship. You want your pieces to work in your favor by placing them in the proper squares. You have like 10-15 moves to do this, any more moves, and you're dragging it on too long and your opponent most likely will have the advantage. So move quick and effective. This skill can take months and years to learn and master. The younger you start learning chess, the better, because learning the game requires so much brain power.
The basic of middle game is simple. You start attack and defending your pieces and gaining or losing squares and position. So basically you see your opening in action. The player who played the better opening usually comes out winning the middle game, and end game but not all the time. Why you may thinking? Because players make mistakes all the time. You can win the opening and can lose the middle game by making a stupid move and losing a piece, essentially starting to lose the game, or setting yourself up with a losing end game.
The basic of end game is quite simple also. Its when you are done trading your pieces in the middle game and most of the pieces are off the board. At this point, the king is left and maybe a few other pieces. Not all game goes to end game. You can checkmate the king in the middle game if you're good enough and your opponent skill's isn't. You can also checkmate the king in the opening as well. The end game is the simplest to learn because it doesn't involved all the pieces, but playing a good end game is not as important as playing a good opening and middle, since these games go in order.
So if you're a beginner in chess, study openings first.
