No player may make a move that leaves their king in check (see below).With the exception of the knight, no piece may make a move to a non-adjacent square unless all the intervening squares are vacant (pieces may not ‘jump over’ other pieces).The removed piece is said to have been captured or taken. If a piece is moved onto a square occupied by an enemy piece, the latter piece is removed from play and the first piece replaces it.A move consists of moving a single piece, in accordance with its rules of movement, to a square that is unoccupied or occupied by an enemy piece.The gameplay will continue in alternating fashion, White making a move, followed by Black. After White has made their move, Black will then make a move. White always makes the first move this is important for notation, and any chess player will insist upon it.
Once all the pieces have been arranged, White makes the first move. In competitive games the players are assigned their colors. In friendly games the choice of colors can be made by any method, such as flipping a coin – if there is no coin at hand, another typical way of deciding would be to conceal a black piece in one hand and a white piece in the other and ask one’s opponent to select a hand, the colored piece selected will be the opponent’s color. One player (“White”) has the white pieces while the other (“Black”) has the black pieces. However, because of its vast complexity, the far-reaching consequences of some decisions are practically unforeseeable. The outcome completely depends on the decisions of both the players. It does not hinge on the roll of dice or which card is drawn. Chess can be played by all ages from kindergarten to nursing homes too – endless fun with the competencies available.Ĭhapter 02: Notating the Game…………………………14Ĭhapter 06: The Endgame………………………………61 Sample Text from Chess eBookĬhess, unlike many other games, does not involve chance.
