 Objective of the Game

• To capture the
opponent’s King.
The Basic Rules and Principles

• Pawn moves forward,

but captures
diagonally. It can
never move
backwards. On its first
move, the pawn can
advance two squares
at a time succeeding
moves will be one
square at a time.
The Basic Rules and Principles

• The rook may move to

any square as far as it
wants, but only forward,
backward, and to the
sides. The rooks are
particularly powerful
pieces when they are
protecting each other and
working together.
The Basic Rules and Principles

• The knight moves by

going two squares in
one direction, and then
one more move just
like “L” shape . Knights
are the only pieces that
can move over the
other pieces.
The Basic Rules and principles

• The bishop may move

as far as it wants, but
only diagonally. Each
bishop starts on one
color (light or dark) and
must always stay on
that color.
The Basic Rules and Principles

• The queen is the most

powerful piece. It
moves in any one
straight direction –
forward, backward,
sideways or diagonal.
As all the other pieces,
except the knight, it
cannot move over any
intervening piece.
The Basic Rules and Principles

• The king is the most

important chess piece; it
is also considered one of
the weakest. The king
only moves one square
in any direction- up,
down, to the sides, and
diagonally. The king may
never move himself into
a check where he could
be captured.
