THE GOAL OF CHESS


Chess s a game played between two opponents on opposite sides of a board
containng 64 squares of altermating colors. Eoch player has 16 pieces: king. I queen, 2
rooks. 2 bshops. 2 knights, and 8 pawns. The goal of the game is to çheckmate the ofher king.
Checkmate happens when the king is in a position to be captured fin check) and cannot
escope from copture
SMART START
At the beginning of the game, the chessboard is laid out so that each player has the
white (or light) color square in the bottom right-hand side. The chess pieces are then arranged
the same way each time. The second row (or rank) is filed with pawns. The rooks go in the
corners. then the knights next to them, followed by the bishops. and finally the queen, who
always goes with her own matching color (white queen on white, black queen on black), and
the king on the remaining square.

The player with the white pieces always moves first. Therefore. players generally decide who
will get to be white by chance or luck such as flipping a coin or having one player guess the
color of the hidden pawn in the other players hand. White then makes a move, followed by
block, then white again, then black and so on until the end of the game.
How the Pieces Move

Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen, King, Pawns

You sent
Each of the 6 different kinds of pieces moves differently, Places cannot move through 6ther
pieces (though the knight con jump over other pieces), and can never move onto o square
with one of their own pieces. However, they can be moved to take the place of an
Opponent piece which is then captured. Pieces are generally moved into positions where
they con Capture other pieces (by landing on their square and then replacing them), defend
their own pieces in case of capture, or control important squares in the game

The King
The king is the most important piece but is one of the weakest. The king can only move
one square in any direction-up, down, to the sides, and diagonally

The Queen
The queen is the most powerful piece. She can move in any one siraight direcion
fonward, backward, sideways, or diogondly- as far as possible as iong as hie does not
move through any of her own pieces. And. ike with all pieces. If the queen captures on
opponenf's piece her move is over.
The Rook
The rook may move as far as it wants, but only forward, bockward, and fo the sides

The Bishop
The bishop may move as far as it wants, but only diagonally

The Knight
Knights move in a very different way fron the other pieces- going two squares in one
direction, and then one more move at a 90-degree angle. just like the shape of an "'a
Knights are also the only pieces that can move over other pieces

The Pawn
Pawns are unusual because they move and capture in different ways: they move
forward, but capture diagonaily. Pawns can only move forward one square ot a fime
except for their very first move where they Can move forward two squares. Powes ca
only capture one square diagondily in front of them. They can never rmove or capture
backward. If there is another piece directly in front of a pawn he connot move post or
copture that piece.
EN PASSANT

pawn (effectively jumping past the other pawn's ability to capture it), thar oner pawn has the
option of capturing the first pawn as it passes by. This special move must be done immediate
after the first pawn has moved past; otherwise the option to capture it 5 no longer available

CASTLING
One other special rule is called castling. This move allows you to do two important things all in
one move: get your king to safety (hopefully) and get your rook out of the corner and into the
game. On a player's turn, he may move his king two squares over fo one side and then move
the rook from that side's corner to right next to the king on the opposite side. However, in order
to castle, the following conditions must be met:

it must be that king's very first move


it must be that rook's very first move
there cannot be any pieces between the king and rook to move
the king may not be in check or pass through check
CHECK& CHECKMATE

As stated before, the purpose of the game is to checkmate the opponenf's king. This happens
when the king is put into check and cannot get out of check. There are only three ways a king
Can get out of check: move out of the way, block the check with another piece, or capture
the piece threatening the king. Ifa king cannot escape checkmate then the game is over
Customarily the king is not captured or removed from the board, the game is simply declared
Over.

DRAWS
Occasionally chess games do not end with a winner, but with a draw. There are 5 reasons why
a chess game may end in a draw:

• The position reaches a stalemate where it is one player's turn to move, but his king is
NOT in check and yet he does not have another legal move
• The players may simply agree to a draw and stop playing
• There are not enough pieces on the board to force a checkmate (example: a king and
a bishop Vs. a king)
• A player declares a draw if the same exact position is repeated three times (though not
necessarily three times in a row
• Fifty consecutive moves have been played where neither player has moved a pawn or
captured a piece.
SMART STRATEGY
There are tour simple things that every chess player should know
1. Protect your king
Get your king to the corner of the board where he is usually safer.
2. Don't give pieces away
Don T carelessly lose your pieces! There is an easy system that most players Use to keep track
of the relative value of each chess piece:

A pawn is worth1
A knight is worth 3
A bishop is worth 3
A rook is worth 5
A queen is worth 9
The king is infinitely valuable

3. Control the center


You should try and control the center of the board with your pieces and pawns. If you control
the center, you will have more room to move your pieces and will make it harder for your
opponent to find good squares for his pieces.

4. Use all of your pieces


Your pieces don't do any good when iney are sirfing back on the first row. Try and develop al
of your pieces so that you have more fo use when you attack the king..
