Answer 1

The game of Chess is a game of strategy and knowledge. The pieces in the first row on each side are called pawns. Pawns can move forward two spaces on their first turn. Any turn after that they must move one. Pawns attac diagonally. Pawns may not move backward or sideways. The horses are the Knights. Knight can jump over pieces. This means that you could start a game off with a Knight. They move up two spaces and over one, much like and L. They can move forward, bacward, or side-to-side. The castle shaped pieces are the rooks. The roos can span the distance of the board and can move forward, backward, and side-to side. The tall pieces in between the Knight and the Kinq or Queen are the Bishops. Bishops can span the distance of the board diagonally. They cannot move forward, backward, or side-to-side. They can move only diagonally. The piece with the cross on top is you King. The King must be protected at all times. He may move forward, backward, diagonally, or side-to-side one space only. Last but definitely not least, is the Queen. The Queen is the most valued piece in the game of Chess. It can span the distance of the board forward, backward, diagonally, or side-to-side.The objective of Chess is to trap your opponents King. You do this by setting up pieces around him so he has no way to move. When this is done you say Check Mate. This ends the game. However, if the opponents King can be attacked but has the ability to escape, you must warn him of this by saying Check. Your opponent will then move his King to an appropriate square. There are certain moves in the game of Chess that can help you win. One is known as Castling. This is when you clear out the back row of every piece with the exception of the King and Rooks. These pieces are not allowed to have been moved before this. If they have been you cannot use this. This is the only situation in which the King may move two spaces and the Rook may jump over a piece. First you move the King two spaces to the left or right. Then you take the Rook on the side you moved your King and you place it on the otherside of the King as if you had jumped over him. This is a good way to protect the King from your opponents pieces.

Chess Explanation

Answer 3

At the beginning of the game the chessboard is laid out so that each player has the white (or light) color square in the bottom right-hand side. The chess pieces are then arranged the same way each time. The second row (or rank) is filled with pawns. The rooks go in the corners, then the knights next to them, followed by the bishops, and finally the queen, who always goes on her own matching color (white queen on white, black queen on black), and the king on the remaining square.The player with the white pieces always moves first. Therefore, players generally decide who will get to be white by chance or luck such as flipping a coin or having one player guess the color of the hidden pawn in the other player's hand. White then makes a move, followed by black, then white again, then black and so on until the end of the game.

Answer 4

First have a Chess Bord and coin before you. The Chess Board available at common Shops is enought to give brief to you. However, this is an interesting and International and Brain game from time immemorial. Represent a King, Minister, 2 Elephants and 2 Camel and 2 Horse both sides along with Sepoy before each. One side White and another Black giving a scope of identification in your steps of playing Chess. King is to be protected by Minister who can all ways in that Board, Camel move across and Elephant straight and Horse move by L shape. Sepoy move step by step. In brief this much. Hope you learn and develop your concentration power which is helpful in your studies and not killing time.

Chess is a recreational and competitive game for two players. Sometimes called Western Chess or International Chess to distinguish it from its predecessors and other chess variants, the current form of the game emerged in Southern Europe in the second half of the 15th century after evolving from similar, much older games of Indian origin.

Today, chess is one of the world's most popular games, played by an estimated 605 million people worldwide in clubs, online, by correspondence (mail and e-mail), in tournaments (amateur and professional) and informally. Aspects of art and science are found in chess composition and theory. Chess is also advocated as a way of enhancing mental prowess.

The game is played on a square chequered chessboard. At the start, each player ("White" and "Black") controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove it from attack on the next move. Theoreticians have developed extensive chess strategies and tactics since the game's inception.

The tradition of competitive chess began in the 16th century. The first official World Chess Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, claimed his title in 1886; his modern equivalent, Vladimir Kramnik, is the 14th Champion in the lineage. There are also biennial world team events called Chess Olympiads. Since the 20th century, two international organizations, the World Chess Federation and the International Correspondence Chess Federation have organized and overseen the top chess competitions and international titles.

One of the goals of early computer scientists was to create a chess-playing machine, and today's chess is deeply influenced by the abilities of current chess programs. In 1997, a match between Garry Kasparov, then World Champion, and IBM's Deep Blue chess program proved for the first time that computers are able to beat even the strongest human players. The popularity of online chess coincided with the growth of the Internet, which started in the mid 1990s.

manual that Chess is a "War of extinction fought according to rules, laws in a cultured manner, but without clemency"
The thought patterns and reasoning procedures of chess are linked to philosophy in fact Lasker says that Chess strategy is another branch on the tree of Aristotle.

Answer 9

Why not just go to Wikipedia and look it up? Are you lazy or something? Try playing it on yahoo games or other website. It's a game that requires little time to learn, but a lifetime to master.

Answer 10

Ask someone who can actually demonstrate it on a board. It's hard to actually learn chess with just words
