![]() ![]() The rook may move as far as it wants, but only forward, backward, and to the sides. Notice how the white queen captures the black queen and then the black king is forced to move. Click through the diagram below to see how the queens move. And, like with all pieces, if the queen captures an opponent's piece her move is over. She can move in any one straight direction - forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally - as far as possible as long as she does not move through any of her own pieces. The king may never move himself into check (where he could be captured). The king can only move one square in any direction - up, down, to the sides, and diagonally. The king is the most important piece, but is one of the weakest. Pieces are generally moved into positions where they can 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. However, they can be moved to take the place of an opponent's piece which is then captured. Pieces cannot move through other pieces (though the knight can jump over other pieces), and can never move onto a square with one of their own pieces. White then makes a move, followed by black, then white again, then black and so on until the end of the game.Įach of the 6 different kinds of pieces moves differently. ![]() 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 player's hand. The player with the white pieces always moves first. The rooks go in the corners, then the knights next to them, followed by the bishops, and finally the queen, who always goes on her own matching color (white queen on white, black queen on black), and the king on the remaining square. The second row (or rank) is filled with pawns. The chess pieces are then arranged the same way each time. Starting a GameĪt 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. Checkmate happens when the king is in a position to be captured (in check) and cannot escape from capture. The goal of the game is to checkmate the other king. The other two players should avoid moving marbles into that corner, as it may create an unfair advantage for the player occupying that corner.The origins of chess are not exactly clear, though most believe it evolved from earlier chess-like games played in India almost two thousand years ago.The game of chess we know today has been around since the 15th century where it became popular in Europe.Ĭhess is a game played between two opponents on opposite sides of a board containing 64 squares of alternating colors.Įach player has 16 pieces: 1 king, 1 queen, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, and 8 pawns.
