How to play Chess

The aim of the game is to set up a threat to the opponent's king that cannot be avoided, thereby checkmating the opponent and winning the game. If neither player can achieve a win, the game ends in a draw, or a stalemate.

The chess pieces move as follows:

• Pawn, moves one square forward - though it can move two squares forward the first time it is moved.
• Knight, moves two squares forward and one to the side, thus in an L shape. This applies in all directions.
• Bishop, moves diagonally forward or backward. They cannot jump over other pieces.
• Rook, moves vertically or horizontally. It cannot jump over other pieces.
• Queen, it can move like both a rook and a bishop. That is, it can move vertically, horizontally, or diagonally as many spaces as desired. However, it cannot jump over other pieces.
• King, moves one square in any direction.

A game of chess is lost for a player if either of the following occurs:

• The king is checkmate.
• If one of the players gives up the game.
