For much of that time, the rules varied from area to area. The modern rules first took form in Italy during the 13th century, giving more mobility to pieces that previously had more restricted movement such as the queen and bishop. Such modified rules entered into an accepted form during the lateth or early 16th century. The basic moves of the king, rook, and knight remain unchanged. Pawns originally did not have the option of moving two squares on their first move and when promoted by reaching the eighth rank, could become a queen only.
Chess is played on a square board divided into 64 squares eight-by-eight of alternating color. Sixteen White and sixteen Black pieces are placed on the board at the beginning of the game.
According to FIDE equipment standards , the length of side of a square should be twice the length of the diameter of the base of a pawn. A chess piece, or chessman, is any of the 32 movable objects deployed on a chessboard used to play the game of chess.
In a standard game of chess, each of the two players begins a game with the following 16 pieces:. At the beginning of the game, the pieces are arranged as shown in the diagram: for each side one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. The pieces are placed, one on a single square, as follows:. The queen is placed on the central square of the same color of that of the player: White queen on the white square and Black queen on the black square.
If the position is such that neither player can possibly achieve a checkmate, the game is drawn. Although the king is the most important piece, it is usually the weakest piece in the game until a later phase, the endgame. The game of chess is played between two opponents who move their pieces alternately on a square board called a chessboard. The player with the White pieces commences the game. If this cannot be done, the king is said to be in checkmate.
Keeping a record of chess moves will be very useful in improving your standard of chess. It is mandatory in all recognized tournaments, in order to settle disputes about illegal positions, overstepping time control and making claims for a draw by the fifty-move rule or repetition of position. Each square of the chessboard is identified with a unique pair comprising a letter and a number. Similarly, the horizontal ranks are numbered from 1 to 8.
Each square of the board, then, is uniquely identified by its file and rank letter and number. The White queen, for example, starts the game on the square d1 and the Black queen on d8. A pawn does not have any specific symbol but is represented by the name of the square it occupies, i.
The Pawns are also unique pieces for multiple reasons :. The Pawn has another extremely special ability — even though he is weak and small, if a Pawn manages to reach the other side of the board he can be promoted to any piece of his liking except the King because there can only be one King in the Kingdom!
Once the Pawn is promoted, he can move in the same way as the piece he was promoted to moves. For Example, if the Pawn is promoted to a Queen he will move like a Queen, if he becomes a Knight he will move like a Knight and so on.

Most tournaments use timers to regulate the time spent on each game, not on each move. Each player gets the same amount of time to use for their entire game and can decide how to spend that time. If a player runs out of time and the opponent calls the time, then the player who ran out of time loses the game unless the opponent does not have enough pieces to checkmate, in which case it is a draw. There are four simple things that every chess player should know:.
Get your king to the corner of the board where he is usually safer. You should usually castle as quickly as possible. There is an easy system that most players use to keep track of the relative value of each chess piece:. A pawn is worth 1. A knight is worth 3. A bishop is worth 3. A rook is worth 5. A queen is worth 9. The king is infinitely valuable.
You should try and control the center of the board with your pieces and pawns. If you control the center, you will have more room to move your pieces and will make it harder for your opponent to find good squares for his pieces. In the example above white makes good moves to control the center while black plays bad moves. In the example above white got all of his pieces in the game!
Try and develop all of your pieces so that you have more to use when you attack the king. Using one or two pieces to attack will not work against any decent opponent.
Knowing the rules and basic strategies is only the beginning - there is so much to learn in chess that you can never learn it all in a lifetime! To improve you need to do three things:. Just keep playing! Play as much as possible. You should learn from each game — those you win and those you lose.
