RULES: gamerules.com/rules/chess-boa...
The object of the game is to checkmate the other king. Checkmate happens when the king is in a position to be captured, in check, and cannot escape from capture.
At the beginning of the game the chessboard is laid out so that each player is sitting across from the other and has the white or lighter colored square in the bottom right-hand side. The chess pieces are then arranged the same way each time. The second row is filled with pawns. The first row should be set up as follows going left to right: Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Rook. You’ve set it up correctly if your queen is on the same colored square as the color of the piece.
The player with the white pieces always moves first. A turn consists of moving 1 piece 1 time. Players alternate turns until the end of the game.
Spaces may not be shared by pieces. Pieces cannot move through or over any other piece. Opponents’ pieces can be captured by correctly moving your piece to the square of an opponent’s piece. When a piece is captured, it is eliminated and removed from the board. Each of the 6 different kinds of pieces has a unique way of moving:
Pawns move one square forward (toward your opponents side of the board) at a time, unless it is the first time it is moved during the game, in which case it may be moved up to 2 squares forward. Pawns can only capture pieces one diagonal square in front of them, and cannot capture pieces directly in front of them, but is instead unable to move forward. If a pawn reaches the other side of the board, it can be changed into any other type of piece. This is called a promotion.
Rooks can move any number of squares side to side, or back and forth. Rooks cannot move diagonally. Rooks cannot jump pieces but instead capture the first enemy piece they move into.
Knights move in the shape of an “L”, moving 2 squares in one direction, except diagonal, then one more square at a 90 degree angle. The knight jumps over any pieces in the way, capturing any opponent piece in its final move position.
Bishops can move any number of squares diagonally. They capture the first enemy piece they move into.
The Queen can move any number of squares in any direction. The queen captures the first enemy piece she moves into.
The King can only move one square at a time in any direction. The King can never move himself into “Check”.
Whenever a move directly results in the opponent’s king being threatened, (meaning if action is not taken, the next turn the King would be captured) the attacking player must say “Check”. The opponent must then use their turn to protect the king either by moving the king out of check, moving a different piece to block the path of the attacker, or by capturing the piece that threatens the king.
If a move directly results in the opponent’s king being threatened, and there is no move to protect the king, the attacking player declares “checkmate,” the game is over, and he wins. A draw, or stalemate, occurs when the king is not in check and the player cannot legally move any of his pieces or there is any other situation where there is an impossibility of checkmate.
There are a couple other types of unique moves. The first is castling: 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 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, and the king may not...

PIECES: pawn - one square forward, attacks diagonally rook - any number of squares forward or sideways, attacks any player in its way knight - moves in an L shape (2 forward, 3 sideways, or vice versa), can jump over pieces and attacks players at the end of the L bishop - moves any number of squares diagonally, attacks any piece in its way queen - any number of squares in any direction, attacks any piece in its way king - any one square in any direction, attacks any piece in its way none of the pieces can jump over other pieces (except for the knight) the only one that can be blocked from moving is the pawn (because they move forward and attack diagonally) check = the player’s king is being threatened by an opponent’s piece (meaning in the next move, he could be attacked) checkmate = the player’s king is in check and there is no way to legally move out of check

[@evanferguson342]

How the pieces move: Pawn - Moves straight forward one square at a time and captures diagonally. Knight - Moves like an L shape in any 2 directions. Bishop - Moves any number of squares diagonally in any direction. Rook - Moves any number of squares horizontally or vertically in either direction. King - Moves one square at a time in any direction. Queen - Moves any number of squares in any direction. Unique moves: Castling - The king moves 2 squares and the rook jumps one square over it (both pieces have to be on the square where they start). En Passant - A pawn can take an opponent's pawn by moving to the square directly above or below it (both pawns have to be on the same file one square apart from each other, the opponent's pawn has to be moved 2 squares forward in one move from where it started and the other pawn has to be on it's fifth rank).

to be more precise : if a pawn reaches the other side of the board, it has to be changed into one of the following pieces : queen, rook, knight bishop, of its own color there is another restriction to castle : the king and the rook must be on the same row, meaning it cannot be done with a pawn that just got promoted to a rook

Not covered: more ways the game can end in a draw other than stalemate Three move rule: a player can claim a draw if the same position occured three times. It doesn't have to be in a row. Fifty move rule: a player can claim a draw if there is no capture or pawn move during the last 50 moves. Insufficient material: both players don't have enough material to checkmate either way. Draw by agreement: a game can end in a draw if both players agree to end the game in a draw

[@pianoman551000]

This video is the most BASIC video I've seen. It does take time to learn and memorize where each piece can and cannot move. Repetition is the best way to learn and memorize the rules is to have someone slowly take you through the basics. Remember, this is NOT checkers. You'll get the hang of the rules quickly. I always test a new player by asking them what they can do with any given piece by setting up a few of opening movies to get them acquainted with their options. Give this game the time that it deserves!

Boutta be a long one, okay so Learning to play chess can seem intimidating at first, but it is a rewarding and engaging game to master. Below are the rules of chess and some tips to help you along the way: 1. Board and pieces: The chessboard has 64 squares, alternating between black and white. You will need 16 pieces -- one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each piece moves in a unique way. The objective of the game is to checkmate your opponent, which means to put their king in check and have no legal move to escape. 2. Moves: Each piece moves differently, and there are rules to each movement. The king can move one square in any direction, the queen can move in any direction as many moves as you want, the rooks move horizontally or vertically, knights move in an L-shape, bishops move diagonally, and pawns move forward one square. Pieces capture another piece by moving to the square the other piece is standing on. 3. Special moves: There are a few special moves to keep in mind, such as castling, en passant, and pawn promotion.

The opening is the first few moves of the game, and the middle game is where you start to develop your pieces and plan out a strategy. It is essential to control the center of the board and not make too many pawn moves in the beginning. 5. End game: The end game is the final few moves of the game where you can gain a significant advantage over your opponent. It is vital to keep track of the number of pieces remaining, especially if there is a possibility for a checkmate. 6. Strategy: The best chess players can think many moves ahead and anticipate their opponent's moves. It is essential to understand your opponent's strategy and plan accordingly.
