CHESS

Chess is one of the oldest games that is still around today. Although no one knows the exact
location where the game came from there seems to be a consensus that the game originated
in India around the 8th century. However, Persia helped shape the game as well. When you take a look at
the chess board you’ll notice that each piece is a character. The Islamic world was vast, but they rejected
gambling/gaming. However, when they learned of the game of chess they began playing it.

Step 1: Setup, Turns, and Taking Pieces

Setup:
The board is setup as shown. There should always be a white square at the closest
right-hand side for both players. Remember that the queen must be on a square that
matches her color.

Turns:
White always moves first, and players alternate turns. Players can only move one
piece at a time, except when castling (explained later).

Taking Pieces:
Players take pieces when they encounter an opponent in their movement path. Only pawns take differently
than they move (explained later). Players cannot take or move through their own pieces.
Step 2: Pawn Movement

Pawns only move forward. On the first move a pawn can move one
or two spaces, every subsequent move can only be one space.
Pawns move diagonally to take opponents.

Pawn Promotion:
If a pawn reaches the opposite side of the board, it is promoted to a
higher piece (except king). There is no limit to how many pawns can
be promoted.
Step 3: Rook

The rook may move to any square as far as it wants but only forward, backward, and to
the sides. the rooks are particularly powerful pieces when they are protecting each other
and working together.

Step 4: Knight

The knight moves by going two squares in one direction, and then one more move just like
an “L” shape.

Knights are the only pieces that "jump" off the board. Unlike other pieces they are not
blocked if there are pieces between them and their destination square.

Step 5: Bishop

The Bishop may move as far as it wants, but only diagonally. each Bishop starts on one
color (light or dark) it must always stay on that color. bishops work well together because
they cover up each other's weaknesses.

Step 6: Queen
The queen is the most powerful piece. it moves in any one straight direction—forward, backward, sideways, or
diagonal. As all the other pieces, except the knight It cannot move over any intervening piece.

Step 7: King

The king is the most important chess piece; however, it is also


considered one of the weakest. the king only moves one square
in any direction- up, down, to the sides, and diagonally. The king
may never move himself into a check where he could be
captured.

Step 8: Special Move: Castling

Castling is the only move that allows two pieces to move during the same turn.

During castling a king moves two spaces towards the rook that it will castle with, and the rook jumps to the
other side. The king can castle to either side as long as:

1. The king has not moved.


2. The king is not in check.
3. The king does not move through or into check.
4. There are no pieces between the king and castling-side rook.
5. The castling-side rook has not moved.

It does not matter:

A. If the king was in check, but is no longer.


B. If the rook can be attacked by an opponent's piece before castling.
