The object of
chess is to move your pieces to capture the opponent's
king.
A pawn can only move forward, it can move 2 steps on
its first move and then one step on subsequent moves. A
pawn can move one step diagonally to capture the piece
on its diagonal. When your opponent's pawn has just
moved 2 steps and lands on a side of your pawn, then you
can capture that pawn by moving your pawn diagonally to
the back of that pawn, this is called en passant.
Rooks can move and capture horizontally and vertically
for any distance.
Knights can move by moving 2 steps forward and then 1
step sideways.
Bishops can move and capture diagonally for any
distance.
Queens can move and capture in any direction and in any
distance.
The king can move and capture in any direction but only
for one step. The king can also perform a move called
castling, where the king moves 2 steps towards a rook
and the rook will be moved to the side of the king on
the opposite side. In order to perform castling, the
king and the rook must both have not been moved, and
that there must be no pieces between the king and the
rook, also, the king and the two empty spaces from the
king to the rook must not be under attack.
When you move a piece to attack the king (i.e. the piece can
capture the king on its next move), then the opponent
must make a move so that the king is no longer under
attack, failing to do so will result in a checkmate and
the opponent loses. If you moved so that the opponent
cannot make any valid move, then this is called
stalemate and the result is a draw game.
