Chess has often resembled a war game. Name of the pieces such as King, Queen, Knight and Pawns refers to a symbolic battleground where the player is chief commander of the pieces that he leads to a checkmate over his opponent. Thus, the player must understand and apply different chess tactics and strategies, looking to win in front of the opponent. Any attempt to play this game with no tactics or strategy would be in vain, and your opponent will have the opportunity to give you a quick checkmate. Tactics and strategy are two different notions, but complement each other. Strategies can be wider objectives or planned major objectives as part of the game. It is obvious that the main and most important strategy is checkmate your opponent. Advance with minor parts on the chessboard and control the center could also be a major strategy. On the other hand, chess tactics can be defined as a series of 2 up to 5 moves planned to achieve a broader strategy by controlling the game at the center. Chess being a game of mind, is based entirely on thinking, so both players may have similar ideas or chess tactics and try to counteract each other their ideas or tactics. Tactics could include, of course with an ounce of sacrifice, trying to distract the opponent. Tactics could include a sudden movement, like a piece placed in the right of the Queen to distract the opponent while the idea is to develop across the chessboard.

Here are some simple chess tactics to start and grow in the game:
Try not to block the pawns – pawns are strongest when they are in a chain.
If you can keep your pawns to the center will have more chances to start the attack.
The edges of the board are generally bad for positioning the Knight, they are used for defense
The Queen’s power begins to grow only when the opponent begins to lose pieces and it can be useful to clear the opponent’s pawns on the chessboard.
The most important tactic is to maintain the balance between success and sacrificed parts, and the goal is always to destroy the opponent’s strength.
