Chess. Chess is a board game that is played on a board that is an alternate pattern of light and dark squares. The entire board has 64 squares, on an 8 by 8 grid. The game begins with two sets of game pieces that are a mirror image of one another on the chess board. Each team of game pieces take up the first rows of the chess board.
The second row in the back consists entirely of pawns. The pawns protect the skill pieces on the board, including the queen, bishop, and knight. The pawns are able to move two places ahead on their first move, and ore square ahead after that, as long as there are no other pieces in front of them. If there are any pieces in front of the pawn, they cannot move. The pawn can take any piece on the board by moving diagonally if th4eir is a diagonal piece in front of them. If a pawn makes it all the way to the other side of the board, then the pawn can be switched with a chess piece that has already been captured by the opposing player. Other roles of the pawn are protecting the chess pieces such as the King and Queen. The ultimate checkmate, where you move one of our pieces in front of a king, and the other player can't move the king out of danger. In a checkmate, you place the other player's king in danger and, he can't move the king to a safe place.
In the back row of each side of the chess board lay the rooks, bishops, knights, queen, skills, with the queen the most powerful of the pieces. The goal of all the chess pieces is to protect each other, take out the other teams pieces, and force the other player into checkmate. The order of the chess pieces, from left to right, are rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, and rook. The rook can move all the way across the board, horizontally and vertically, until one of its own pieces gets in its way, or for enough to capture an opposing player's piece.
