How to play

1 Players 2. 1

2 Equipment A 64-square board, 16 pieces each (a king, a queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and 8 pawns). 2

3 Goal Trap the opponent king so it cannot escape, which is checkmate. 3

4 Play White moves first, then you alternate one move at a time. Each piece moves its own way: pawns forward, rooks in lines, bishops on diagonals, the knight in an L. 4

5 Special moves Castling with a rook, and promoting a pawn to a queen when it reaches the last rank. 5

6 Winning Checkmate wins. With no legal move and no check, it is a draw (stalemate). 6
