If you want to play Chess but so not know the rules, here's a simple guide from basic to pro level.
Learn how to play and understand the game, so let's get started.
Discovering chess starts with understanding its setup: a checkered board with 64 squares, each player positioning 16 pieces including pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, a queen, and a king.
Each piece moves uniquely—pawns advance and capture diagonally, knights move in an L-shape, bishops travel diagonally, rooks maneuver horizontally or vertically, queens combine both, and kings cautiously move one square in any direction.
The goal is strategic: to checkmate the opponent’s king by placing it under attack with no escape.
Mastering additional rules like castling, pawn promotion, and en passant adds depth to gameplay, fostering strategic thinking and tactical planning essential for success in chess.
