Ab & Team Presents CHESS “It’s not just a game”

Brief History of Chess Chess has been dated back roughly 1500 years, originating in India, then spreading to Persia and then Europe.

General Rules of Chess The goal of the game is to capture or trap your opponent’s King, and this is called “checkmate”. White always moves first & players take alternating turns, moving one chess piece at a time. Each chess piece has its own movement . A piece may capture an opponent’s piece or move to an unclaimed square. A piece is captured by landing on the appropriate square with the moving piece and removing the defending piece from play.

How to setup the chess board Your right side end square should be white White king should be in black square and vice versa
