Mastering chess begins with understanding the game board and the official rules of chess correctly. Starting to learn the basics of this game will be your first step to becoming a chess master. The basics of the game are the key for all beginners to ace the game. Here is the ultimate beginner's guide to mastering the official rules of chess.
CHESS RULE TO SETUP THE CHESS BOARD
To properly arrange the chessboard, adhere to these essential guidelines. Place the chessboard centrally between both players. Ensure that a white square rests in the bottom right corner facing each player. Start the first row nearest to you with the following sequence: Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Rook. Immediately above the first row, place the eight pawns. This meticulous setup prepares the chessboard for the game. The player controlling the white pieces takes the initial move, and falls under the official rules of chess. It is noteworthy to use standard algebraic notation, denoting pieces with abbreviations such as R for Rook, N for Knight, B for Bishop, Q for Queen, K for King, and P for Pawn. Adhere to the stipulated movement and capturing rules for each piece, allowing for an engaging and strategic game experience.
CHESS RULE TO MOVE THE PIECES
Pawn (P): Moves forward one square but captures diagonally one square ahead. On their first move, pawns can choose to move forward two squares. Pawns promote to any other piece when they reach the opposite end of the board.
Rook (R): Rooks move horizontally or vertically any number of squares as long as there are no pieces obstructing their path.
Knight (N): Knights move in an L-shape. They can jump over other pieces and are the only pieces that can do so. The knight moves two squares in one direction (horizontally or vertically) and then one square perpendicular to that.
Bishop (B): Bishops move diagonally any number of squares, provided there are no obstructions along their path.
Queen (Q): The queen combines the movement capabilities of the rook and bishop. It can move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally any number of squares, as long as there are no obstructions.
King (K): The king moves one square in any direction – horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The objective of the game is to protect the king from capture while threatening the opponent's king.
