Session # 20
THE BATTERY


We continue with the battery. It is used to give more power to a certain piece, we put to piece that has the same line of action, in the same line of action, in order to give more power to the piece in front. (examples of pieces having the same line of action: queen+bishop, bishop+bishop, queen+rook, rook+rook.


Here, the black queen and rook form a battery, if its their move, they can checkmate the knig by taking the pawn at c2. If the rook wouldn't have been their to form the battery, they couldn't have done the check mate.




At the end of every session, we recommend pracicing and / or doing some chess puzzles. This site has chess puzzles and also a chess forum so you can chat with other players. http://www.chessnerds.com
