Each player controls sixteen pieces: Piece Number 1 1 2 2 2 8 Symbols. At the beginning of the game, the pieces are arranged as shown in the diagram: for each side one, one, two, two, two, and eight. The pieces are placed, one on a square, as follows: • The rooks are placed on the outside corners, right and left edge. • The knights are placed immediately inside of the rooks.

• The bishops are placed immediately inside of the knights. • 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. • The king takes the vacant spot next to the queen. • The pawns are placed one square in front of all of the other pieces. Popular mnemonics used to remember the setup are 'queen on her own color' and 'white on right'.

The latter refers to setting up the board so that the square closest to each player's right is white (:16–17). A game in a public park in, using a The player controlling the white pieces is named 'White'; the player controlling the black pieces is named 'Black'. White moves first, then players alternate moves. Making a move is required; it is not legal to skip a move, even when having to move is. Play continues until a king is, a player, or a is declared, as explained below. In addition, if the game is being played under a players who exceed their lose the game. The official chess rules do not include a procedure for determining who plays White.

Instead, this decision is left open to tournament-specific rules (e.g. A or ) or, in the case of non-competitive play, mutual agreement, in which case some kind of random choice is often employed. A common method is for one player to conceal a piece (usually a pawn) of each color in either hand; the other player chooses a hand to open, and receives the color of the piece that is revealed. Movement Basic moves.

The pawns can move to the squares marked ' ×' in front of them. The pawn on c6 can also take either black rook. Each type of chess piece has its own method of movement. A piece moves to a vacant square except when an opponent's piece. Except for any move of the knight and castling, pieces cannot jump over other pieces. A piece is captured (or taken) when an attacking enemy piece replaces it on its square ( is the only exception). The captured piece is thereby permanently removed from the game.

The king can be put in but cannot be captured (see below). • The moves exactly one square horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. A special move with the king known as is allowed only once per player, per game (see below). • A moves any number of vacant squares in a horizontal or vertical direction. It also is moved when castling. • A moves any number of vacant squares in any diagonal direction. • The moves any number of vacant squares in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal direction.

• A moves to the nearest square not on the same,,. (This can be thought of as moving two squares horizontally then one square vertically, or moving one square horizontally then two squares vertically—i.e. In an 'L' pattern.) The knight is not blocked by other pieces: it jumps to the new location.

If it has not yet moved, a pawn also has the option of moving two squares straight forward, provided both squares are vacant.

Pawns cannot move backwards. • Pawns are the only pieces that capture differently from how they move.

A pawn can capture an enemy piece on either of the two squares diagonally in front of the pawn (but cannot move to those squares if they are vacant). The pawn is also involved in the two special moves and (:17–19). Positions of the king and rook after (White) and (Black) castling Castling consists of moving the king two squares towards a rook, then placing the rook on the other side of the king, adjacent to it.
