Recreational activities include

all the pursuits people make

to their bodies and brains
and add interest and
enjoyment to their free time.
CHESS IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND
MOST WELL-KNOWN BOARD GAMES.
 Two players
compete on a
checkered board
using specially
crafted pieces in
opposing colors,
usually white and
black.
Following white’s move,
the players take turns
switching roles according
to predetermined rules,
with the goal of forcing
the opponent’s King,
their most important
piece, into checkmate.
 Checkmate is a
situation in which
it cannot escape
capture.
CHESS can help kids develop their
mathematical and scientific abilities.
Additionally, it
improves the student’s
capacity for focus,
logical though, and
problem-solving.
It helps students grow in confidence
and sense of value.

It also improves communication skills.

 It teaches the value of
dedication and hard effort.
 Chess is a relaxing and
entertaining game.
This game is completely
free and might amuse even
the onlookers.
CASTLING – a move of the king and two
squares to either side, with the rook
moving to the other side of the king.
CHECK – the outcome
of a move that puts
the opponent’s king in
immediate danger of
being captured by
one, occasionally two,
of their pieces.
 CHECKMATE – is a
position in which one
player’s king is in check
and at risk of capture,
with no move available
to stave off the threat
and end the game.
DRAW – a chess
match that ends in
a draw has no
winner.
EN PASSANT – an unusual
pawn capture can occur
after a player moves a pawn
two squares from its initial
location, at which point an
opponent pawn is at its side,
the opponent can capture it
but do not replace it on its
square but on the square
closer to its initial location.
PROMOTION – a
pawn with the
extraordinary power to
change into other chess
piece besides the king
if it reaches the last
row on the opposing
side of the board.
 When playing chess, the
pieces are what you move
on the chessboard.
Chess pieces come in six different varieties.
8 Pawns
2 Bishops
2 Knights
2 Rooks

pawns each. The second
rank is occupied by White

weakest piece.
The first move of a pawn
might be either a one or

square at a time
after making one
previous move.
BISHOP

small piece worth
three points.
