Gebruiker:Chescargot/Vuistregels in het schaken
Het schaken is een spel met schier eindeloze mogelijkheden en veel tactische en strategische mogelijkheden binnen een kader van spelregels. Er zijn veel manieren waarmee men de opening middel- en eindspel kan spelen, met beproefde theorie aan de ene kant en woodpush-stijl aan de andere kant. Er zijn diverse vuistregels in het schaken waar men op het eerste gezicht geen buil kan vallen, maar die desondanks niet zonder nadenken toegepast kunnen worden. Hieronder volgt een waslijst van deze regels.
