It has 64 squares arranged 8 x 8. In chess language they are called white and black squares. The board is positioned cor- rectly when a white square is in the lower right hand cor- ner; ‘white on right’ All of the squares have a name. The square marked @ is called b2. The square marked @ is called e4, The square marked Il is called 16. In this diagram all the names are indicated in the squares Ranks (‘rows’) go from one side to the other. They are indicated with numbers. All squares with number | (al, bl, cl. dl, el, fl, gl and hl) are on the first rank. All squares with number 5 are on the fifth rank, Files (‘columns’) go from bot- tom to top and are indicated with letters, All squares with an h (hl through h8) are on the hefile. Alll eight files and eight ranks are equally long. All squares al, b2, c3, d4, €5, 6, g7 and h8 lie on a diago- nal (slanting line), Not all diagonals are of equal length. The shortest diagonals are only two squares long (c.g. a7/b8). The longest diagonals consist of eight squares. There are two of them: al/h8 and hl/a8. i eae Bagweens The starting position. The pieces on the board should be set up like this. We view the position from the side of the white player. White always begins a game; he makes the first move. Notice where the white queen is standing. She is always on a white square. [2H 2eweae) WaW ahaha “ 8 @ 1MaMa al a@eWomx In the diagram the board is shown from the viewpoint of the black player. Once again the white player makes the first move. Note the position of the black queen. She is standing on a black square.

The rook can move to 14 different squares from e4. The queen can move to all the squares marked with a plus. There are 27 of them. The queen can move like a rook, and like a bis- hop. The queen moves straight, diagonally, forwards or backwards. The queen can move to 27 different squares from e5. ‘The king can move to all the squares marked with a cross. There are 8 of them. The king moves straight or diagonally, but only one square at a time. The king can move to 8 diffe- rent squares from ¢3. ‘The bishop can move to all the squares marked with a plus, There are 13 of them. The bishop moves diagonally, forwards or back- wards, The bishop can move to 13 different squares from dS. ‘The knight can move to all the squares marked with a plus. There are 8 of them. ‘The knight moves one square straight and one square diagonally. The knight can move to 8 different squares from d4, ‘© The queen has the most possibilities. Therefore she is the strongest piece. ‘The rook has a lower value than the queen, but is still stronger than the other pieces. ‘The bishop and the knight are equally strong.

The pawn move is not similar to the moves of other pieces. In fact, everything is different. ‘A pawn can move one square forward. On its first move the pawn can chose whether it wants to move one or two squares forward. After this, the pawn can only move one square forward each tum. The white pawns play from bottom to top. The black pawns always play from top to bottom. If a pawn reaches the back rank, it can change into a queen, rook, bishop or knight of the same colour. The pawn cannot remain on the square, The pawn is pro- moted. The pawn cannot change into a king. Pawn f7 chooses: WHA Pawn b2 chooses: Wrak 10 The pawn takes diagonally forward, not straight. It is the only piece that captures di ferently from the way that it moves. The pawn on d5 can choose between taking the bishop or the knight. He can also ad- vance forward one step. The pawn on g3 can play only after the black pawn has taken on h3. Pawns may not jump, neither over their own pieces, nor over the enemy pieces. ‘The white a-pawn cannot move. The black g-pawn cannot move two squares forward because the bishop is in its way, nor can it take the queen. The only move is one step forward to 6. Each side has 8 pawns in the starting position. They are standing on the 2" and 7" rank. A pawn is the only chess piece that may not move backwards. He also may not capture backwards. This means that the white pawns can never stand on the first rank and the black pawns never on the eighth rank. ma, A pawn: ‘© can choose to move one or ‘two squares on its first move . may not move backwards takes differently (diago- nally) from the way it moves (forward) can change to a piece of the same colour (except a king) when it reaches the ‘opposite end of the board .

The rook can move away, but it can also capture the white rook. Capturing (or taking) is the third way of defence. The black queen on the right can escape from the bishop’s attack by moving away. In this case it is better to take it, because the bishop is not protected. On the left, the queen is There are two special ways attacked; she can move of protecting which are away.
