2. HISTORY OF
CHESS

3. Chess is one of the oldest two-player
board games. This popular game is
played on a checkered board that is
typically black and white. Each
player takes turns moving one piece
at a time, hoping to force the
opponents king piece into a
checkmate. Chess has been adapted
throughout the years but originally
appeared in India in the 6th century
CE. This game is still popular and
played by many today
.

8. Standard chess sets contain 32 pieces which are
two sets of coloured chessmen. As a rule there will
be one set of playing pieces coloured black and the
other set will be all white.
A set of 16 pieces contains 1 king, 1 queen, 2
bishops, 2 knights, 2 rooks, and 8 pawns. Both
players use one full set of 16 pieces each (either
black or white).

9. the King is a slow piece
that can move only one
step in every direction
– forward, backward, to
the sides or diagonally.

10. The Queen is the most powerful
piece. The Queen can move 1-7
squares in any direction, up,
down, left, right, or diagonal,
until the Queen reaches an
obstruction or captures a piece;
however, the Queen cannot
jump over pieces and can only
capture one piece per turn.

11. The Bishop only moves
diagonally. The Bishop may move
1-7 squares in any diagonal
direction. The Bishop cannot
jump over pieces and can only
capture one piece per turn.
Because the Bishop moves
diagonally, it may never move to
a different color other than the one
it starts on.

12. The knight moves unconventionally
compared to other chess pieces.
Whereas other pieces move in
straight lines, knights move in an
“L-shape”—that is, they can move
two squares in any direction
vertically followed by one square
horizontally, or two squares in any
direction horizontally followed by
one square vertically.

13. The rook moves horizontally
or vertically, through any
number of unoccupied squares.
The rook cannot jump over
pieces. The rook may capture
an enemy piece by moving to
the square on which the enemy
piece stands, removing it from
play.

14. The Pawn moves directly forward,
never backward or to the side.
Pawns move exactly one square
forward; though each Pawn may
advance two squares forward the
first time it is moved. Pawns
capture a piece that is one square
diagonally forward.

opponent.
