What is Chess?
Chess is a board game
between two players.
Chess is one of the
oldest and most popular
board games.
HISTORY
OF
CHESS
 According to Legend, chess was invented
around 200 B. C. by a commander, Hán
Xin, who invented the game as a battle
simulator. Soon after winning the battle,
the game was forgotten, but it resurfaced
in the 7th century. For the Chinese, Chess
was invented by the mythical Emperor
Shennong or by his successor, Huangdi
Han Xin is best remembered
as a brilliant military leader
for the strategies and tactics
he employed in warfare,
some of which became the
origins of certain Chinese
idioms, he was undefeated in
battle and for his
accomplishments, he was
considered the "God of War".
Chess is a game that has been played for
centuries and was thought to have
originated in India in the 15 century. Long
ago, it was considered a game reserved
only for kings and members of the upper
classes. Nowadays, chess is played by
common people even at an early age.
The modern design of chess pieces bears
the name Staunton, who was an English
master in the mid-1800s. These are the
type of pieces that are now used in all
tournaments worldwide
The first international chess
tournament was the London
Tourney played in 1851. A
German named Adolf
Anderssen won the game.
He became the unofficial
best chess player in the
world because he did not
receive any award or title.
 The first great American-born
chess player is Paul Morphy.
Morphy traveled to Europe in
the 1850s where he beat all
challengers including Anderssen.
However, the English champion
of the time refused to play with
him, so Morphy never became a
world chess champ.
 The first official championship
chess tournament was played
in 1866 in London, with sand
clocks to restrict the length of
a game. A Bohemian
(Czechoslovakian) Jew named
Steinitz won the game. He
became the world's first official
chess champion, holding this
title until 1894.

THE ROOKS ARE
PARTICULARLY POWERFUL
PIECES WHEN THEY ARE
PROTECTING EACH OTHER AND
WORKING TOGETHER.
 BISHOP

WANTS, BUT ONLY FORWARD
BACKWARD, BACKWARD, AND TO THE
SIDES. THE ROOKS ARE
PARTICULARLY POMAY MOVE AS FAR
IT WANTS. BUT ONLY DIAGONALLY.
EACH BISHOP STARTS ON THE COLOR
(LIGHT OR DARK ) AND MUST ALWAYS
STAY ON THAT COLOR.
BISHOPS WORK WELL TOGETHER
BECAUSE THEY COVER UP EACH OTHERS
WEAKNESSES.
 KNIGHT

SQUARES IN ONE DIRECTION,
AND THEN ONE MORE
MOVEJUST LIKE AN L SHAPE.
KNIGHTS ARE THE ONLY
PIECES THAT CAN MOVE OVER
OTHER PIECES.

 CHESS
TERMINOLOGIES
 CASTLING
A move of the king and or either rook of the same
color along the player’s first row. On a player’s
turn, he may move his king two squares over to
one side and then move the rook from that side’s
corner on the square next to the king.
 CHECK
Is the result of a move that places the opposing
king under an immediate threat of capture by one
or sometimes two of the opponent’s pieces.
 CHECKMATE
Is a situation in which one player’s king is
threatened with capture (in check) having no
move to avoid that threat, thus, ending the game.
 EN PASSANT
Is a special pawn capture that can occur immediately
after a player moves a pawn two squares forward from
its starting position and an enemy pawn could have
captured it had it moved only one square forward. The
opponent captures the just-moved pawn as if taking it
“as it passes” through the first square. The resulting
position is the same as if the pawn had moved only one
square forward and the enemy pawn had captured
normally.
 PROMOTION
Is a special ability of a pawn wherein if it reaches the
last row of the other side of the board, it can become
any other chess piece except the king.
 DRAW
A chess game where nobody ends a winner.
Reasons why a chess game may end in a draw:
- The position reaches a stalemate when 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 agree to stop playing.
-There are not enough pieces on the board to force a checkmate
(for example a king and a bishop vs. a king)
-A player declares a draw if the same exact position is repeated
three times.
-Fifty consecutive moves have been played where neither player
has moved a pawn or captured a piece.
