 Lesson CHESS
4&5 (Rules and Regulation)

Chess was introduced from the previous lesson. You have known its
nature and its development. Before you play it, you need to know first how it is
played. So, sit properly and prepare yourself for another fun filled learning
exercises.

What I Need To Know

At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:

• understand the rules and regulation in playing chess,
• identify the strategies and tactics used in playing chess; and
• play chess by applying the rules and regulations.

What’s In

Without a doubt, you are now quite familiar what chess is. Are you now
prepared for more? Before we dive into the meat of this lesson, let us identify first the
equipment used in playing the game.

Chess Board –
made of 64
smaller squares, One player
with 8 squares (White) has
on each side. pieces of a light
Each player color; the other
starts with 16 player (Black)
pieces: 8 pawns, has pieces of a
2 knights, 2 dark color.
bishops, 2 rooks,
and one queen
and one king.

Note: In a competitive game, a clock is used. Paper and pen is

used for individual tabulation.

 What’s New & What Is It________
Before playing any game, you must know how to win to identify
what strategies and tactics you will use. Below are the basic rules in playing chess.

The Goal of Chess is for each player to try and checkmate the
GOAL king of the opponent. Checkmate is a threat (check) to the
opposing king which no move can stop. It ends the game.

- The two opponents take turns to move one of their pieces to a

different square of the board.
During the
Game - One player (white) has pieces of a light color; the other player
(black) has pieces of a dark color.

The player with white pieces always makes the first move.

Each piece has its own way of moving around the board. Please familiarize the illustrations
below.

The king can move one square
in any direction – up, down, to
the sides and diagonally. The
king may never move himself into
a check where he could be
captured.
The queen can move in any one
straight direction – forward,
backward. Sideways or diagonal.
As all the other pieces, except
the knight, it cannot move over
any intervening pieces.

 The rook may move to any
square as far as it wants, but
only forward, backward, and to
the sides. The rooks are
particularly powerful pieces when
they are protecting each other
and working together.
Image#4: https://tinyurl.com/yh67whe3
The knight moves by going 2
squares in one direction, and
then one more move, just like an
“L” shape. Knights are the only
pieces that can move over other
pieces.
Image#6: https://tinyurl.com/yh67whe3
5
The bishop may move as far as
it wants, but only diagonally.
Each bishop starts on one color
(light or dark) and must always
stay on that color. Bishops work
well together because they cover
up each other’s weaknesses.
Image#5: https://tinyurl.com/yh67whe3
The pawn moves forward but
captures diagonally. It can never
move backwards. On its first
move, the pawn can advance 2
squares at a time. Succeeding
moves will be one square at a
time.

 What’s New & What Is It_______
Now, be ready to take a tour in the world of Dominoes.

Dominos (Dominoes) generally refer to the collective gaming pieces making up a domino
set (sometimes called a deck or pack) or to the subcategory of tile games played with
domino pieces. The word domino often refers to any rectangle formed from joining two
congruent squares edge to edge.
A domino set may consist of different numbers of tiles and dots. The traditional
Sino-European domino set consists of 28 dominoes. Dominoes are called “bones”
because the earliest domino tiles were made from animal bones or ivory. Each
domino is a rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends.
Each end is marked with a number of spots called pips or is blank.
The word “pip” commonly means a “spot” or a “speck”, and perhaps
that’s why a domino’s spots are called pips. The backs of the dominoes in
a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some common design.
A domino set is a generic gaming device similar to playing cards or dice, in
that a variety of games can be played with a set.
Evidence shows that tile games have been found in China as early
as early as 1120 CE. Some historians credit Keung T’ai Kung in the
20th century BCE for creating them.

The word “domino” is most likely derived from latin,

dominus (i.e., the master of the house). The vocative
domine became the Scottish and English dominie (i.e.,
schoolmaster). The dative or ablative domino became the
French and then the English domino.
The word “domino” is French for a black and white
hood worn by Christian priests in winter which is
probably where the name derived from. Domino
games are played all over the world, but they are
most popular in Latin America.
The game domino was very popular in
Italy, France and Britain in the 18th
century. France was producing domino
puzzles.

 What I Have Learned

Domino mimics family situations wherein the pieces are interconnected and
need to match each other. Like dominoes, family members have a bond that
connects them. Each member needs to be in consonance with each other so that
harmony among them will be achieved.

What I Can Do

Activity No. 2: You Complete Me!

Instructions: Based on what you have learned from this lesson, has your expectations of
learning domino been achieved? Copy and answer on a separate sheet of
paper.

 What’s In

Did you have fun playing the first two recreational activities? How was
it?

Have you played domino before? Who won?

What’s New & What Is It

Here are the Seven Steps on How to Play Domino!

1. Acquire a domino set and pick an appropriate place for the game.

2. The dominoes must be shuffled to make a boneyard.

3. Each player chooses a domino at random, with the first move going to the
player holding the “heavier” domino.

4. Once you begin drawing tiles, they are typically placed on edge so that you
and your component can see your tiles, but without showing the value of
the tiles. Every player can, thus, see how many tiles always remain in the
other players’ hands during the game.

5. The first player places the first tile on the table, usually a double-six. If no
one holds the double-six, then the double-five is played and so on.

6. Take turns placing tiles with your opponent. If someone cannot make a
move, you can draw a tile from the boneyard.

7. The game ends when you have placed all your tiles, or when a game is
blocked.
