What chess technigue would you recommend for someone who likes using their Knights and Bishops?

Question

What type of playing style would you recommend for me to use where the bishops and knights are used offensive?

Chess players please help me

Answer 1

Concentrate on the centre and concentrate on attacking pawns. Try to avoid offering the pieces for exchange (unless by doing so wins material). Exchange queens early if possible. It's more difficult to exchange rooks early on in the game but you want to try to get a pawn up and then exchange down.

Answer 2

Trade off the rooks and queens.  Then you'll be in your element.

Answer 4

It depends on the quality of people you play against.  If you're just a casual highschool player, you could always go with the "Fried Liver" strat.  I believe "The Italian Game" starts off in this formation. (Also known as "The Quiet Game")  

It's an opening I do a lot.

Ruy lopez would be good to get your pieces out pretty early. I'm sure King or Queens gambit would be able to do so as well, as that is their purpose.

Controlling the center is key in all games, so definitely you want to do that. Put the bishops either together in the middle, or split on the outside flanks.  It's very easy to miss a sneaky bishop hanging on the edge of a board. Knights are best in the middle, as they have more hopping locations then. Look for weak pawn structures to stick a knight into and let him sit there all game.

Answer 5

Try a gambit!  A gambit is an opening when you intentionally give away a pawn.  While your opponent is busy eating your pawn, you can develop all your knights and bishops, putting them in the middle of the board.

If you're an aggressive player, you can often get an early checkmate by moving your knights forward to the 5th rank or so and then attacking the enemy king.  The trick is to move slowly enough that you really bring your pieces to bear and make it tough for the other guy to defend, but not so slowly that he has time to start trading off the pieces.  The pawn you sacrifice in a gambit is *nothing* for the first fifteen moves or so, but after that you start to miss it more and more.

If you're a more defensive player, you might want to just get your pieces out and then try to win back the pawn you sacrificed.  You'll usually be in a position to line up at least of couple of Knights or Bishops in the way of the advancing enemy pawn.  Knights can go directly in front of the enemy pawn (preventing other enemy pawns from defending it), and Bishops usually go off to the side, attacking the enemy pawn from a safe place.  You may find that your opponent spends so much time and energy protecting the pawn that when you finally pry it out of his cold dead hands, his morale is crushed and his pieces are too awkwardly placed to start in on a new plan.
