 ORIGIN
• The modern design of chess pieces

of Chess
• Paul traveled to Europe in the 185O's,
where he beat all challengers, including
Adolf Anderssen.
• However, the English champion of the time

Morphy never became a world chess
champ.
 STEINITZ

length of a game.

Kasparov.
GOAL
 • Chess is a game played between two
GOAL opponents on opposite sides of a board
containing 64 squares of alternating
colors. Each player has 16 pieces: 1
king, 1 queen, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights,
and 8 pawns.
• The goal of the game is to checkmate
the other king. Checkmate happens when
the king is in a position to be captured (in
check) and cannot escape from capture.

“White to the right”
CHESS Put the white corner to
BASICS
the right side

Switching this can make a

game invalid.

If the board has letters,

they should read A-H for
the white player.

“Queen on her color”

⊙ Black Queen is on a

“A lady wants her shoes

Check this before you

 RULES FOR SETTING UP BOARD

CHESS  White (corner) to the right

BASICS  Queen on her color
 Add pieces alphabetically from the
center
 Pawns in Front
HOW THE PIECES
MOVE
MOVING ROOKS
Rooks move to vacant
squares in a
horizontal or vertical
straight line.

Rooks must stop

before their own
pieces, or they can
capture an
opponent’s piece and
occupy that square.
MOVING BISHOPS
Bishops move to
vacant squares in a
diagonal straight line.

Bishops must stop

before their own
pieces, or they can
capture an
opponent’s piece and
occupy that square.
MOVING KNIGHTS
Knights move in an
“L”, two squares in
one direction and one
square at a right
angle.

Knights jump over

pieces of any color.

Knights can capture opponent’s pieces, but not

their own pieces.
MOVING THE QUEEN
The Queen combines
the moves of the
Rook and the
Bishop. The Queen
moves to vacant
squares in a straight
line.
The Queen must stop
before her own pieces,
or she can capture an
opponent’s piece and
occupy that square.
MOVING THE KING
The King moves
one square in any
direction, but
cannot stay in or
move to a square
under attack by an
opposing piece, or
occupy a square
that has one of his
own pieces.
MOVING THE KING
The King may
capture an
unprotected piece,
even if it is
attacking him.

Castling is done
with both the King
and Rook in the
same move.
MOVING PAWNS
Pawns move
forward, either one
or two empty
squares on their
first move, and only
one empty square
after that.
MOVING PAWNS
Pawns may capture
opponent’s pieces
that are one
diagonal square in
front of it.

A Pawn cannot
capture a piece
directly in front of
it.
“EN PASSANT” CAPTURE
Pawns allowed able to take
an opponent’s pawn “en
passant”
(French for “in passing”).

When the opponent’s pawn

moves two squares, the pawn
can captures as if the pawn
only moves one square.
“EN PASSANT” CAPTURE
This en passant capture
MUST be done immediately
(on the very next move), or
the option to capture this
way is lost.
 RULES FOR CASTLING

1. The King & Rook have not yet

CASTLING
moved in the game.
2. All squares between the King
and Rook are empty.
3. The King is not in check.
4. The King does not move to or
move over a square that is in
check.
 CHECKMATE AND WHEN TO
RESIGN
CHECKMATE  Checkmate is when one player’s King is
threatened and there is no legal move
to meet the threat.
 The player giving checkmate wins the
game.
 A player can resign when their position
is hopeless. It is a loss, but it saves time
& shows they knew they lost.
 4 WAYS TO DRAW A GAME

1. By agreement with your opponent

DRAW
2. Repeating the same position three
(3) times, with the same person to
move and the same possible moves
3. Stalemate: The player to move has
no legal moves and is not in check
4. The 50-Move Rule: 50 moves
without a check or a piece being
captured
 ABOUT DRAWS
 To request a draw:
DRAW 1. You must be the player to move
2. Make your move
3. Offer a draw before touching the
clock. The offer is considered on
your time, not your opponent’s time.
 If your opponent offers a draw, he
often thinks he is losing. Check what
winning chances you have.
 50-MOVE DRAW EXAMPLE
 The opposite-color
50-MOVE Bishops can avoid
DRAW each other, and
avoid capture by the
King forever.

 This will be a draw

eventually, if one is
not offered and
accepted.
PERFORMANCE
