Today's collection of 10 Chess Terms are as follows...
#1 Active
A piece is referred to as being "Active" when it serves some sort of active role. For instance, if the piece to sent out to a square where it can attack the enemy's position, on the next turn, that piece would definitely be Active.
#2 Breakthrough
When a player manages to get a piece through to their opponent's Back-rank, they've made a Breakthrough. Usually, the piece has to break-through the line of Pawns, to reach the enemy's Back-rank.
#3 Chess960
The late, former World Chess Champion, Bobby Fischer, created a variation of the usual game of international Chess, which allowed players to set up the Pieces (but not the Pawns) in any random order, along the back-rank.
This game variation is mostly known as Chess960. However, because of the random positioning and who created it, the game is also known as Fischer Random Chess.
#4 Dark-Square Bishop
The chessboard is made up of 32 light-colored squares and 32 dark-colored squares. At the beginning of each game of chess, each player gets two Bishops.
One Bishop starts on a dark-colored square and until the end of the game, or until it gets captured, it will remain fixed to the dark-colored squares, hence the term Dark-Square Bishop.
#5 En Prise
If a player leaves a Pawn or Piece undefended and exposed to capture, without deliberately leaving it as a sacrifice, then it's like a free gift for their opponent and referred to as being left "En Prise".
#6 Fianchetto
This term relates to Bishops only. When a Bishop is Fianchettoed, it's sent onto the square directly in front of where the Knights start each game.
White's Kingside Bishop is Fianchettoed when it's placed onto the 'g2' square; for White's Queenside Bishop, it goes onto the 'b2' square; for Black's Kingside Bishop, it's Fianchettoed by going onto the 'f7' square; and for Black's Queenside Bishop, it moves to 'b7'.
Naturally, the Pawns must be moved off those squares, before the Bishops can be Fianchettoed.
#7 Good Bishop
A Bishop is described as being a "Good Bishop" when its diagonals are clear. If there are Pawns or other Pieces blocking the Bishop's path, then that Bishop's movement becomes restricted (and it becomes a "Bad Bishop").
#8 Hanging Pawn
When a Pawn is left on a square without any protection, it's vulnerable to attack and is referred to as a "Hanging Pawn" - it's been left, hanging around on its own.
#9 IGM
This is the abbreviation for the "International Grandmaster" chess title. However, these days, many just refer to these titled players as "Grandmaster", which is abbreviated to "GM".
#10 Key Square
An important square is referred to as a "Key Square", or a "Critical Square".
For example, a Key Square may be one that's important for the success of a Checkmating attack.
Naturally, it'll be important to the two players, for differing reasons - for the attacker, it'll be an important, offensive square; for their opponent, it'll be important to guard that Key Square, to defend their King's position.
And that concludes this collection (#3) of 10 Chess Glossary terms.
