How Sagittarius plays chess

November 23 to December 21. Fire sign. Enthusiastic players who get distracted mid game, and pay for it.

The tendency

Sagittarians are enthusiastic and game minded, and they genuinely enjoy chess. They will also try to watch another sport while playing, which rarely ends in a win.

They are offensive players who trade or sacrifice without hesitation. They fear losing the queen and fear an opponent queen and knights, but losing their own queen does not convince them the game is over.

The Sagittarius chess life

Sagittarians typically start around age thirteen and continue for about fourteen years. They prefer a faster game and, at their peak, play one or two games a day. They are usually the only chess player in the family. They enjoy postal chess but prefer playing across the board at a club.

Pieces Sagittarius favors and fears

They favor sweeping attacks with the larger pieces, and make comparatively few pawn moves.

How to play against a Sagittarius

Let the distraction work for you and keep the position demanding. The attention is the weak point, not the ability.

This is the general Sagittarius profile. The book goes twelve levels deeper.

Two Sagittarius players are not the same player. The rising sign changes the piece preferences, the temperament, and the way the game is lost. AstroChess breaks Sagittarius down across all twelve Sun and Ascendant combinations, which is where the reading gets specific enough to use against someone.
