CHESS RULES
The object of the chess is simple. There are two players with one player having 16 black or dark color chess pieces and the other player having 16 white or light color chess pieces. Chess is played on a square chessboard made up of 64 individual squares consisting of 32 dark squares and 32 light squares.
Each chess piece has it's own square with the dark chess pieces aligned on one side of the board and the light pieces on the other. There are 6 different types of chess pieces, the Pawn, Rook, Bishop, Knight, Queen and King. Each piece has its own unique way to move on the chessboard. The chess pieces are used to both, attack and defend from attack, against the other chessmen.
Each player has one King and the ultimate objective of the game is to capture the opponent's King. Having said this, the king will never actually be captured.The game will reach a point when the King is trapped and cannot move without being taken and this is called checkmate. When this happens the game is concluded.
While the object of playing chess is really quite simple, mastering this game of chess is an art and requires immense skill.
