Title: Defining the Essential Question

1.)  What is the best way to win a game of chess?

2.)  I think it’s pretty self-explanatory. The “best” way would be the fastest, and most foolproof way of winning that can be consistent in every game that is played.

3.)  – Study Games played by Prodigies to learn different techniques.                                                                - Analyze your own games to make sure you learn from your mistakes and improve over time.

4.)  My most important source has definitely been the book I have read, “ Weapons of Chess,” by Bruce Pandolefini. This has been a great resource on all the basics and on a number of terms and techniques that dominate the game and should be known by all intermediate players.
