Basic Setup
Chessboard: The board has 64 squares in an 8x8 grid. The squares alternate in color (typically black and white). The bottom-right square should be white.
Pieces: Each player begins with the pieces arranged in the two rows closest to them. The second row (rank) is filled with pawns. The pieces on the back row (first rank) are arranged as follows (from left to right for White):
Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Rook.
The Queen is placed on her color (white queen on white, black queen on black).
Basic Rules
Movement:
Pawn: Moves forward one square, with the option to move two squares forward on its first move. Captures diagonally.
Rook: Moves any number of squares horizontally or vertically.
Knight: Moves in an 'L' shape: two squares in one direction and then one square perpendicular. Knights can jump over other pieces.
Bishop: Moves any number of squares diagonally.
Queen: Moves any number of squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
King: Moves one square in any direction. The king has a special move called castling, which involves the rook.
Special Moves:
Castling: The king moves two squares towards a rook on the player's first rank, and then the rook moves to the square over which the king crossed. Conditions: Neither the king nor the rook has moved previously, no pieces are between them, the king is not in check, and the king does not move through or into check.
En passant: If a pawn moves two squares forward from its starting position and lands beside an opponent's pawn, the opponent's pawn can capture it as if it had moved only one square forward. This capture must be made immediately.
Promotion: When a pawn reaches the opposite side of the board, it is promoted to any other piece (except a king), usually a queen.
Check and Checkmate:
Check: A king is in check if it is under threat of capture. The player must make a move that removes the threat.
Checkmate: A king is in checkmate if it is in check and there is no legal move to remove the threat. The game ends with a victory for the player delivering checkmate.
Draw:
The game can end in a draw by several methods: stalemate, threefold repetition, fifty-move rule, mutual agreement, or insufficient material to checkmate.
Basic Strategy
Control the Center: Place your pawns and pieces to control the central squares of the board.
Develop Pieces: Move your knights and bishops early to active positions.
King Safety: Usually, this involves castling to safeguard your king.
Piece Coordination: Ensure your pieces work together and support each other.
