The game of chess

in #game7 years ago

Chess is the careful maneuvering of pieces in order to trap the king. Chess is a board game for two players. It is played in a board, made of 64 smaller squares, with eight squares on each side. Each player starts with sixteen pieces which consists of eight pawns, two knights, two bishops, two rooks, a king and a room, a king and a queen.
The primary objective in chess is to checkmate your opponent's King. When a King cannot avoid capture then it is checkmated and the game is over.
There are 6 main objective in chess which are

  1. Development
  2. Controlling the center
  3. King safety
  4. Pawn structures
  5. Material winning
  6. Forks and discover.

  9. Castle : To move your unmoved King 2 squares toward an unmoved Rook and to move the Rook on the other side of the King is the castling move.
  10. Capture: to remove a piece from the board via a legal move.

  14. Pin: An attack (by a Rook, Bishop or Queen) on a piece that cannot or should not move, because a piece behind the attacked piece is worth even more. If the piece behind is a King, this is an “absolute” pin and the pinned piece is not allowed to move, or it would put the King into check.
