Aim of the game
The aim of the game is to capture the opponent's
king or, in other words, put him in check mate.
Starting set-up
Each player has 8
pawns, 2 rooks, 2
knights, 2 bishops, 1
queen, and 1 king.
1. Place the chess pieces in the starting position
(see figure).
Note: The field is positioned for the players
such that the left white rook should be standing
on a black square.
2. The player with the white pieces starts the
game. Only one piece can be moved per turn.
Note: The "castling" move is an exception (see
the point about "Castling").
3. Move the pieces according to their individual
movement rules. If a player moves their piece to
a square already occupied by an opponent's
piece, they capture the opponent's piece.
4. Remove the captured piece from the game board.
Movements of the chess pieces
Rook
Only move the rook
horizontally or vertically.
It cannot jump over other
pieces.
Bishop
Only move the bishop
diagonally across the
game board. It cannot
jump over other pieces.
Queen
The queen is the piece
with the greatest freedom
of movement. Move the
queen horizontally,
vertically, and diagonal-
ly. It cannot jump over
other pieces.
King
Move the king one
square in any direction,
as long as the destina-
tion square is not
already occupied or
threatened by an
opponent's piece.
Knight
Move the knight two fields in the horizontal or
vertical direction and one field to the left or right.
The knight is the only piece that can jump over
other pieces (occupied squares).
Pawn
You can only ever move the pawn ahead one
space.
Note: One exception is
when capturing the
opponent's pieces with
the pawn. If the square
diagonally in front of the
pawn to the left or right
is occupied by an
opponent's
piece, the pawn can capture this piece.
The pawn can also make the following special
moves:
Double move
When a pawn is moved for the first time, it can
be moved two squares toward the front. The two
squares must be empty.
En passant
This move can only be made directly after the
double move.
If a player executes a
double move and their
pawn ends in a square
right next to a pawn
belonging to the
opponent, the opponent
can move their own
pawn diagonally behind
the pawn that has just completed the double
move and thus capture it "en passant".
Pawn promotion
If the player succeeds in moving a pawn to the
last row on the opponent's side of the board,
the pawn can be promoted to become a(nother)
knight, bishop, rook, or another queen, regard-
less of whether these pieces have already been
captured during the course of the game.
Castling
• Castling is a single move in chess whereby
two pieces can be moved at the same time.
• During this move, the king moves two squares
to the left or right from its initial position and
the rook jumps over the king and comes to rest
in the neighbouring square.
Requirements for castling:
• Neither the king nor the respective rook can
move at all during the game beforehand.
• There cannot be any pieces between the king
and rook.
• The king cannot be threatened by check
before castling and it cannot travel over or
land in a square threatened by check during
castling.
Chess
• When a player threatens an opponent's king,
they declare "check".
• The threatened king must be immediately
rescued from the situation by capturing the
threatening piece or moving out of danger. If
this is impossible, because the king would only
be moving to another threatened square, then
check mate has been achieved. The game has
been lost.
• If a player is not threatened by check, but
doesn't have any feasible moves, this is called
a stalemate - the game ends as a draw.
The history of the game of chess goes back
many hundreds of years. Today, chess is one of
the most popular board games in Europe. There
is a wide variety of types, tips, and strategies.
There is a great deal of literature on chess.
