WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT CHESS?
Introduction
CHESS:
to
• Chess is one of the oldest board games
ever, it is over 1300 years old and it has
been played all over the world.

• Each player sets up sixteen pieces on a

board with 64-squares of alternating
colours.
 OBJECT OF THE GAME:
The game is won when one king is in check
and cannot avoid capture on the next move;
this is called checkmate. A game also can end
when a player, believing the situation to be
hopeless, acknowledges defeat by resigning.
There are three possible results in chess: win,
lose, or draw.
 >Each player has 16 pieces but, there are
only 6 different pieces
>There aren't "colors" in chess but shades

The Basic Chess light and dark

>European rules state that the light color
Rules: always goes first
>White is always in the lower right corner
of the board
>The Queen is always on her color
>The King is always on his opposite color
The Different Chess Pieces
THE PAWN
THE ROOK
THE KNIGHT
THE BISHOP
THE QUEEN
THE KING
PAWN:
The Pawn only moves forward and
never backwards. On it's first move,
it may move one or two squares.
After that, it can only move one
square at a time, only consuming
pieces diagonally.
ROOK:
The rook moves horizontally or
vertically, through any number of
unoccupied squares. The rook cannot
jump over pieces. The rook may capture
an enemy piece by moving to the square
on which the enemy piece stands,
removing it from play.
KNIGHT:
Whereas other pieces move in straight
lines, knights move in an “L-shape”—
that is, they can move two squares in
any direction vertically followed by one
square horizontally, or two squares in
any direction horizontally followed by
one square vertically.
BISHOP: The bishop chess piece moves in any
direction diagonally. Chess rules state
that there is no limit to the number of
squares a bishop can travel on the
chessboard, as long as there is not
another piece obstructing its path.
Bishops capture opposing pieces by
landing on the square occupied by an
enemy piece.
QUEEN:
The Queen is the most powerful piece.
The Queen can move 1-7 squares in any
direction, up, down, left, right, or
diagonal, until the Queen reaches an
obstruction or captures a piece;
however, the Queen cannot jump over
pieces and can only capture one piece
per turn.
KING:
A king can move one square
horizontally, vertically, or diagonally
unless the square is already occupied by
a friendly piece or the move would place
the king in check. If the square is
occupied by an undefended enemy
piece, the king may capture it, removing
it from play.
EXAMPLES OF SPECIAL MOVES IN
CHESS:

• Castling
• Pawn Promotion
• En Passant
CASTLING:
It is a move that is normally
used to improve the king's
safety. Castling is the only
move that allows two pieces,
the king and a rook to move
at the same time.
PAWN PROMOTION:
Pawns are the weakest pieces on the
board, but they have the potential to
become much stronger. Should a pawn
manage to make it all the way to the
other end of the board, that pawn must
be promoted to any piece its player
chooses, other than a king.
EN PASSANT:

It is a move that allows a

pawn that has moved two
squares to be captured as
though it had only moved
one.
