Usually, only 2, what the opponent may play in response to your move, and how you will respond. Knowing a few openings and how to respond to them as Black and knowing the basic matings in endgames is a definite plus. If you can play into an endgame and are strong on endgame play you have a decided advantage. I would always spend my time waiting on my opponent to move going over his possible moves and what my response to them should be. Time well spent. Expect the unexpected and watch out for those tricky Knights.I thought the key to chess was the ability to see fifty moves in advance.

I just finished one of his videos for new player, it’s an hr long. He gave information on moves past the open, true game play by planning ahead, shapes is what he’s trying to practice, each one leads to new positions. Like.
What matters is the range of squares in which a knight can land on. Whether one considers it a 2 squares forward and diagonal or an L shape is just personal visualization.So, I’ve always been taught that a knight can move with a single diagonal move with 2 squares forward, however my Grandchildren told me thats no correct, that the knight moves in an L shape not on a diagonal, so who of you were taught to move without the L and just in a single diagonal. Which seems correct to you?

The L is the only concern, if you have a piece in that corner position then you can‘t move forward, if you remove that then the move of the knight has more range.What matters is the range of squares in which a knight can land on.

I forgot to post the correct picture of the “En Passant” that has been corrected to help visualize the move.I use an excellent computer version called "The Chess lv. 100". I've used many computer and online chess apps over the years and this is a good free one. Not sure where I got it but most likely from the Microsoft Store online.
The 1283 Spanish book Libro de los Juegos (Book of Games) is one of the earliest texts on games and describes dozens of ways to play chess, including a four-player game that required dice. There was also no mention of the queen piece in the book. The queen might date from later or just was not used in Spain.
