How to move pieces in chess

 HOW TO PLAY CHESS

(Beginner level)

Chess is a game known for strategic planning and a fun to play game . Chess has 5 different kinds of pieces called rook , bishop , knight , queen , king , pawns . It has 2 colors black and white and white always starts first . The main aim the player is to put the opponent into a checkmate .

LETS LEARN HOW OUR PIECES MOVE

- Pawn

At the starting of the game all the pawns are located at the 2nd (white) and 7th (black) rows they can move 2 squares when it's their first move .

After that they can only move 1 square , pawns are also the only pieces which cannot go backwards.

Pawns can only capture pieces diagonally 

Pawns also have an ability , if they reach their opposite end they can get promoted into queen , rook , knight and bishop ; that means you can  have multiple queens on the board ! pretty cool right , it requires a lot of planning and strategy to reach there.

 Knights 

Knights are honestly my favorite piece holding a value of 3 points each , move in a L shaped pattern,  they also have an ability to jump over opponent's pieces and their own ! And they can also move back too.

Bishops

Bishops are also 3 pointers there are 2 types of bishop of each color one only moves one dark squares one only moves at light squares , they have a diagonal movement and are also a very important piece in the game of chess.

Rooks

These pieces are crucial being a 5 pointer piece located at the corner of boards they can move vertically and horizontally both , these rooks are a life saver in the endgames of chess .

 

Queen

Queen is the most powerful piece on the board having a 9 pointer bounty over them , they must be protected well , a queen can move vertically,  diagonally and horizontally , a queen is like the heart of the game so make sure before you go on using your queen think as it can cost you the game. 

King

Now finally , the king , it is the weakest piece of the game it can only move square in any direction,  if your king is being attacked it's called a check which can removed when u move your king to a safe square or is blocked by your own piece , when the king is under check and has no where to move nor can it be protected,  it's checkmate ..
