Answer 1

Object is to capture the king; you do this by blocking the king so your opponent has no moves to prevent it's capture.

You can only take one piece at a time as well.

Link below is a great tutorial. Enjoy!

Answer 2

The capture (killing) of the king is the point of the game. Each piece has a different set of rules in how it can move and attack, they can only take one pice at a time.

However, when the king is threatened by an enemy piece, (i.e it is direct line of attack and will be taken the next turn), the attacker must declare a 'check'. The opposing player MUST save the king, either by moving it to an adacent square, out of the line of attack, or by blocking the line of attack with another piece, or by taking the attacking piece.

When the king cannot move to an adacent space that is not also threatened, and the attack cannot be blocked or prevented then 'check mate' is declared and the game is over.

If the game continued for another go, the king would be taken, but traditionally that move never happens, instead some people tip their own king over to concede.

the various capabilities of the pieces, in moving and attacking, make the game very tactical. To defend, you must make sure that each piece is 'covered' or backed up, by another.

Answer 3

The object is to capture the king, which tends to mean blocking all means of escape but also putting a piece in place to capture it as well.

Only take one at a time.

Answer 4

Yes, only one piece can be captured per move.

The object of chess is to 'checkmate' your opponent's King. That is, you place your pieces in such a way as to attack the King (i.e. put him in 'check'), but that also leaves that King with no square to go to that is not also under attack by you.

There are three ways for a King to get out of check:

1) Capture the attacking piece
2) Move the King to a square that is not under enemy attack
3) Interpose a piece between the King and the attacking piece, thereby 'blocking' the check.

When the King is in check, and can do none of these three things to save himself, the game ends at that point. The King is never actually 'captured'.

Answer 5

You don't kill the king or even capture it. You block the king from being able to escape. You might say, you corner the king. Then "checkmate."

You can only "capture" (not kill) one piece at a time.

I recommend Bobby Fischer's Introduction to Chess. I forget the exact title. It might be "Bobby Fischer teaches chess."

Answer 6

You want to block the king from making moves, and you can only kill one at a time.

Answer 7

You can only capture (kill) one piece at a time.
To win you must put the opponent's king in danger and it can't capture the piece threatening it and all moves by the king puts it in danger.
Make sure that your opponent cant capture the pieces putting the king in danger

Answer 8

The object in chess is to essentially corner the king so he has nowhere to go without being captured. Each piece in chess has a specific movement that it can do. Here is a site.

Answer 9

the object is to check mate the king (to attack him when there is no place for him to move), and you can kill only one piece at a time.

Answer 10

you have to trap the king in such a way that anymove it makes or even if it says in its same spot is under attack from one of your pieces, and you can only kill one piece at a time, it's diffent from checkers... have fun playing
