How to move the chess pieces:
1) The King moves from its square to a neighboring square
2) The Rook in its line or row
3) The Bishop diagonally
4) The Queen may move like a Rook or a Bishop.
5) The Knight jumps in making the shortest move that is not a straight one,
6) The Pawn moves one square straight ahead. But such moves are permitted only if the square upon which the piece lands is empty
How to Capture Other Pieces:
1) The Pawn captures diagonally for only 1 square forward.
2) The queen captures in any direction.
3) The king captures any enemy pieces on the squares surrounding it but only 1 square.
4) The knight captures any enemy pieces on its path.
5) The bishop captures diagonally.
6) The rook captures horizontally.
You win if you:
1) checkmate your opponent
2) your opponent resigns
3) your opponent’s time is out
Although every piece is important in a chess game, we must always be careful of our king’s safety as if we lose our king, we will lose the game।
