10. THE LAW OF CHESS
Chess is a game played by two people on a chessboard, with 32 pieces(16 for each player) of six types. Each type of piece moves in a distinct way. The goal of the game is to checkmate, i.e. to threaten the opponent's king with inevitable capture. Games do not necessarily end with checkmate—players often resign if they believe they will lose. In addition, there are several ways that a game can end in a draw.

11. Chess piece - King
The king is always the tallest piece on the chessboard and the king chess piece will usually have a cross-like object on top.  By the rules of chess, his moves are pretty limited, he can only move one square at a time but he can move forward,  backward, left, right and diagonally.  Not to offer any particular strategy, but keep him safe and well protected!

13. Chess piece - Queen
She's the most powerful chess piece you have on the chessboard. She can move vertically, horizontally, and diagonally just as many squares she wants (without jumping other chess pieces).  So you'll want to be careful and not give her up too carelessly or without a steep price to your opponent.

14. HOW THE QUEEN MOVES

15. Chess piece -Bishop
  There are two bishops, always one on a light square and one on a dark square.  Bishops move just like the queen except they can't move forward, backward, left or right.  Diagonally only just as many spaces as desired without jumping another chess piece.  Because bishops move diagonally, they will always remain on their original square color as per the rules of chess. 

16. HOW THE BISHOP MOVES

17. Chess piece - Knight
The knight not only resembles a horse, but is the only chess piece that can jump over another chess piece or pieces according to chess rules.  The knight's move is rather different.  Think of the move as "L" shaped - two squares either forward, backward, left, or right and then left or right one square. 

18. HOW THE KNIGHT MOVES

19. Chess piece – Rook/Castle
The rook is also called the castle.  The rook moves just like the queen except it can't move diagonally.  Just forward, backward, left, and right but as many spaces as desired without jumping other chess pieces.

20. HOW THE CASTLE/ROOK MOVES

21. Chess piece - Pawn
The pawns are expected to advance out in front and take the brunt of an oncoming attack or serve as a shield.  These chess piece are allowed to only move one square at a time by the rules of chess. However, in their first move, they can move two squares if they want.  They can only move straight forward - no retreating for these soldiers according of the chess rules.  And they can only capture one of the enemy by approaching diagonally.  But, if one of these brave little soldiers can make it to the other side, they are rewarded with a promotion - to a queen!
