Chess. The rules of chess. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]My brothers go to chess class and they know alot of chess tricks i don't know. But i just found a trick they don't know!!!!!!!!!!
Great information told ! Although I think maybe you could add more tricks...
Good, using this for my class project, if you felt this was boring, why would you continue to search.
I'm trying to ask a question. If I am in check by my opponent and I can't move my king to safety or protect it, but I make a single move elsewhere on the board and checkmate my opponent, is it then a draw? Does the rule prohibit my move because it doesn't move my King out of check? Since my move means that both Kings are checkmated, under the rules, no one can move at this point? [email protected]
You must resolve the check on your King. If this can involve checking the
opponent, good for you. But your King cannot be in check at the end of
your move.
If you are unable to remove the check on your King, you are mated and have
lost the game.
With the pawns, is it possible for them to move two spaces for every first move that they make? I have always been under the impression that the first move of the pawn, the piece can be moved two spaces for the first move and only one move subsequently. Please answer my question as I am having an ongoing debate about this point. Thank-you!
Each pawn may move two squares forward on its first move. See the <a href='http://www.chessvariants.org/d.chess/pawnfaq.html'>Pawn FAQ</a> for answers to questions about the pawns.
After all of one side's pieces have been taken except for the king, how many moves does the other side have to put him in checkmate?
That's question 1 on the <a href='http://www.chessvariants.org/d.chess/faq.html'>Chess FAQ</a> page. The answer is 42...er...50, with some details.
the directions were very specific
Very clear and concise.
i wanted to know about the en passant and i found your website very useful thank you
very good information available about rules of chess
Awesome information about the rules of chess, and very easy to understand. well written and illustrated. cheers!
These instuctions are well written. My 10 year old is learning the game faster and with less argument with the rules on hand.
I appreciate diagrams that are with the instructions. very clearly set out. I'm looking forward to teaching my husband to play! Poor, starved childhood...
My boyfriend and I were disagreeing about a particular rule. Thanks for giving me the info to win the bet!
Thank you for the great information- My 11 y.o. son and husband were playing and were unsure of the rules for a stalemate- you answered their question. These rules are very easy to follow-we like the diagrams.
YOyo This Is A Rad page I love it and now i know how play chess with all my homies now!!!
Great concise explanation of chess rules. Thanks!
u guys expalined the whole thing so i understood. U GUYS ROCK!!!! thanx.
OMG... So i was so confused about the 'castling'... haha now i understand
I heard that one rule is that if you get a pawn to the other side of the board that pawn can chnge into any piece. Is that true?
What is this website?Did a chess geinuos make this or something?You Guys Are GGGRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAATTTTTT!
I wasn't sure about the rule of 'en passant' and this website has put my, and my buddys, mind at rest. Thank you chessvariants, you really are great!
dang i didnt know how to play chess in the first place but this website really skrewed me up. thanks a bunch chessvariants you guys are almost GGGGRRRRREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT. but not quite
I still didn't get how to play or find the answer of some definition
words.
They should put a small place to ask questions
Answered my question on castling, en passant, and promotion. Better than the first site I went too. Thanks!
The instructions are brilliantly written complete with graphical representation. A good site to forward on to friends who aspire to be your chess opponent! :) Thanks
wow thanks for the stalemate and checkmate is same as mate
Amazing! I didn't know there were so many rules!
I didn't know there was such a move as 'En Passant'. What does it mean? And is this standart Chess?
Yes, it is indeed standard chess. It means, In passing.
can the opposing member attack the piece that has the king in check if there is no space between the opposing piece and the king?
To answer lordking's chess question: When a King is in check there are three possible legal actions (aside from resigning): 1) capture the checking piece, 2) move the King out of check, or 3) block the check. Regardless of which action is taken, the King must not be in check after the move is completed. If the King cannot get out of check he is said to be in 'checkmate.'
The third figure explaining the rules of castling (castle3.gif) cannot be correct. Both white bishops are on black squares, which would be possible only after a pawn has been promoted to a bishop (except the queens all pieces are still there). Besides, white cannot castle because the white king is on a4. That means it has been moved already (a4 belongs to the white queen) and, as a result, castling is not possible no matter whether the black bishop gives check or not.
I as a master can beat Jeeves up at chess...ha!got you there.
has there ever been a rule of 21 moves after all your pieces are gone and all you have is a king left. is their a 21 moves rule.
well our class played chess against gr 5 and we won so yeh! oh yeh u should let us play the game
Anonymous wrote on Mon, Nov 21, 2005 05:58 AM UTC:Excellent ★★★★★great information and very easy to navigate. also the only website not blocked by my school filter.
I learned a couple new things. Thanks. I didn't know that the pawn could be promoted to anything even if it was not a captured piece. Also, I needed help with castling.
I learned a great deal from this site! I used to play my dad and always loose, but now I provide him with a can of kick ass!
I don't understand... It said fun and games but I cannot play anything!!!
once again, chess reflects life :)
it brings the game to life,even to those who are new to the game.
Lots of great information
Thank you.
alot of information on this page but the thing i was looking for was not on the page, if a player is in check is there a certain amount of moves before the game is over?
If a pawn is promoted to queen, what chess piece should be used to identify that piece as a queen if there are no other queens or rooks available to take the position of the promoted pawn?
If all you have is the one Chess set you are playing with, an upside-down Rook is usually best. If the Rooks haven't been captured, the next best thing is something all of which has been captured, so that it won't get confused with anything else. Barring that, use something to mark another piece as a Queen, such as a coin or a Checker. Or just use a coin, preferably one from a British Commonwealth nation such as Australia, Britain, or Canada, with the heads side up.
i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it but i got bored and then it was neardy
Really useful page. Greatly appreeciated for a quick and fast reminder of the rules. Many thanks
Maybe inclue a graphic of how casteling 'Queen side' works.
What is the rules regarding the max number of moves to get the king in check mate during the end game before it is concidered a stale mate? corect me if im wrong, but if both sides make identical moves 3x(back and forth) this is concidered a stale mate, corect? you can email me back at [email protected] robert
all your questions can be answered on this page, under the headings 'Stalemate', 'Repetition of moves' and '50 moves rules' please read 'stalemate' carefully, you don't understand what it means judging by your questions. http://www.chessvariants.org/d.chess/chess.html
I'm confused. I'm teaching my 8 year old to play and I dont want to warp him. I thought attacking pawns could only capture an opponents piece if there were two pawns of the same colour side by side. I couldnt see this in the rules though ?
A great quick guide for rusty players like me!! Thanks soooo much!
Nicely done! Done very well, but I'd like more colour!
FANTASTIC!!!! Thankski youski veryski muchski
This was a GREAT HELP! I play friends at school, but now I have an advantage. I can't wait to try a couple of these new rules on my friends. For example, I had never heard of the en-passant, but now I do. Thanks!
This was a really great system, i'm obsessed with chess now, its helped a lot. Thanks guys!
P.S. (GO BOBBY FISCHER!)
As a 'returning to chess' player, I am slightly 'foggy' on some rules. Currently playing long-distance with my son in Chicago (I'm in N.Y.) I appreciated your site refreshing me on promotion of pawns. I was under the belief that you could only 'promote' to a previously 'lost' piece. Now that I believe I understand that promotion can be to any piece other than a pawn (not a piece) or a king, my question: How is the newly promoted piece identified on a board? (lacking a replacement from previously 'lost' pieces)
Thanks.
this sight help me on stuff but got s bit boring towards the end thnks for the help m8!!!
This really helped me
very good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
B'coz there is everything which one is need to improve self
You have a terrific site here. I'm fairly new to the game and have been all over the Internet seeking info and help of all kinds. Your site ranks right at the top as far as the covered topic. Thanks! I know there are many who feel the same.
it really helped me for conducting a chess tournament.
The representation of rules is awesome. Still, Bullet # 4 and 5 under 'Castling' are not clear to understand. Please give illustration with pictures.
I help with our school chess club and there are always questions that come up during a game. The one question that I have, if a King is able to cross the board, to the oponents side can that player add a pawn? Then, if he cross back to his side can he add another pawn?
Its a question to all.
What happens when the white pawn reaches the starting place of the black king. in India we have the rule of bringing the respective player back on the board.
As the white king is already on the board, which one is brought back.

i think this is great because today a chess board came in the post for my brother and we did not Know how to play so this site helped loads
I recently had an arguement with my father-in-law about the en passant rule. He believes that it applies to any piece a pawn can two step to. He also believes you can use your king to check your opponets king as long as it is backed by another piece. I know these are both false, but he needs to see it in writing from someone other than myself!!!
It is very boring.You should make it more interesting.
can a king take another pice?

Try reading this page on the 50-moves rule: http://www.chessvariants.org/d.chess/50moves.html.
Editors: Maybe there should be a link in the 50-moves paragraph of this Rules of Chess page to the 50-moves FAQ page.
Yes, King can take any piece adjecent to it if he is not being checked after taking the piece.
Chess has long been considered the sport of kings and aristocrats. It has only been recently that chess has become popular among all levels of society. And no wonder. Chess is great exercise. No, there are no head smashing, helmet scarring football tackles or exotic tumbles on a gymnastic mat. Rather the players exercise their minds.

Can a king capture a piece of the opponent by moving backwards?
Yes, the king can capture moving backwards, as long as it doesn't put itself in check by doing so.
