relative value of forces
let if a pawn hv power =1 unit
bishop hv power .......... =3 unut
knight too hv powr ....= 3unit
rook hv power ..............=5 unit
queen hv power .........= 9 unit
King is a vulnerable unit nd hv no relative value but hv dynamic value in most of endgames positions.
THUS the relative strength betwin forces shows dat a Bishop+2pawns = a Rook or R+B/N+ a pawn =a Queen.
three pawns = B or N etc.
Any of pieces generates most power from d center. hence control of Center is of prime importance.
Once one moves center pawns..his/her king is unsafe in d central lines. hence he/she shud castle to to keep KING safe nd same tym devlops the ROOK too

Ultimate goal is in chess to checkmate opposing King. Checkmate is a position where u delivers a check (threaten to capture opposing King) nd ur opponant hv no room or no ways to save his majesty.

after some moves there arises weaknesses in one or both players camp.
The basic aim shud be to create weakness/es in opposing camp (its other mattr if your opponant creates in his own camp).thus u hv minor/major advantages
WINNING is a accumulation of these advantages to convert into a big advantage.
