Chess

Set, a Chess set.

yes only if you lost your queen previously, it can also be sub. for any other lost piece.

Yes, but only by 1 square (save when castling). They can move horizontally, diagonally, and vertically. They may not move into check, however, nor can they cross a square under attack in castling. Additionally, castling cannot be done when a king is in check.

Garry Kasparov had the highest Elo (FIDE) rating in chess ever recorded with a 2851 set in July of 1999. A link can be found below.

The two kings may never face up to one another in chess. This is because a king moving adjacent to the other king puts itself in check, because the other king would be able to capture the king that moved. It is illegal for a king to place itself in check, therefore it is an illegal move to face up to another king.

No. turn may be forfeited in chess. Many great endings in chess games are created by forcing the other player into making a move he or she does not want to make, because it will put him or her in a weaker position.

When a pawn reaches the eighth rank, it is promoted to another piece, not including a king.

Their are 4 ways to end a chess game

Resignation-The player suddenly notices he is going to lose and gives up

Draw-The players agree to a draw, a tie

Stalemate-The King cannot move anywhere but is not in check

Checkmate-........Checkmate!!!

yes. For example, if the square that the pawn reaches (and becomes a queen, or another piece of choice) is covered by the opponent's rook, and it is the opponent to make the next move, then the rook can take the new queen.

There are many pieces in the board game, although they may vary by edition and variation. But bare with me, as I will try my best.

There are six pawns (or tokens) that represent the characters. These are colored or painted pieces of plastic, wood, or pewter. The colors represent the characters. In the most recent versions, the pawns are mini figurine versions of the characters. They are made of hardened rubber.

There are six weapons, these include mini pewter (most commonly) tokens. The weapons are the wrench, lead pipe, candlestick, revolver, or the knife. Newer versions include the baseball bat, the trophy, the axe, the poison, the dumbell, and occasionally, the bomb.

And last but not least, is the cards. They represent: The weapons, the rooms, and the suspects. After this is the board, which all the pieces are set on.

Hope this helps! P.S, if you are missing any of the pieces, just go to a website such as hasboro and order replacement tokens.

Yes. If either player has no legal move, regardless of the difference in number of pieces, the game is a draw. This is a last resort for many players, as is perpetual check, to save a tie when behind in pieces or position.

I really have no understanding. If anyone knows it, please post it.

8 squares per row. A chess board is made up by 8 x 8 squares.

Firstly there are pieces, considered either major or minor, alongside pawns.

You begin the game with 8 pawns in a horizontal line on the second rank for white and the seventh rank for black. When in this starting position they move either one or two squares forward. After a pawn is moved (or if it captures) it may only move one space forward. A pawn can capture anything diagonal to it. They cannot move backwards.

Pieces are different from pawns in that they are worth more, can move backwards, and there are less to start with.

Bishops and Knights are considered minor pieces. Putting a point value on any chess piece is based on pawns, with pawns equaling 1. Minor pieces (knights and bishops) are commonly agreed to be worth 3 pawns each.

You begin the game with two bishops and knights each. Bishops move diagonally on whichever color squares they start on. They move however many squares on chooses, but cannot move through other pieces. Each side will have both a dark-squared and a light-squared bishop. Knight are perhaps the most unique piece in the way it moves. They move in an L shape, either two spaces forward or backwards and then one the the left or right, or two spaces left or right and then one forward or backwards. They have the unique ability to 'jump' over pieces and pawns if they would technically pass through them.

Major pieces would include the rooks, the queen and the king. Rooks are worth 5 pawns and the queen is worth 9 pawns. The king isn't really considered in point value because it's a piece you cannot lose without losing the game. If it were just another piece with no other significance, it would be worth roughly 4 points.

The rook moves horizontally or vertically in any number of spaces, assuming it has nothing in the way. The queen is basically both a rook and a bishop and can move either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The king can move one space in any direction.

Keep in mind that point values assigned are relative and can technically change in the circumstances of a game.

There 64 1x1 squares on a chessboard.

There are also 49 2x2 squares, 36 3x3 squares, 25 4x4, 16 5x5, 9 6x6, 4 7x7 and 1 8x8.

Total number of squares on a chessboard is therefore 204.

Chess is from India. It had spread from India to the Middle East before the Crusades, and medieval Crusaders returning to Europe brought the game back with them. By the year 1300, chess was widespread throughout all of Europe.

The term checkmate is an alteration or Hobson-Jobson of the Persian phrase "Shāh Māt" which means, literally, "the King is ambushed" (or "helpless" or "defeated"). It does not literally mean "the King is dead", although that is a common misconception, as chess reached Europe via the Islamic world, and Arabic mātaمَاتَ means "died", "is dead".[1] Moghadam traced the etymology of the word mate. It comes from a Persian verb mandan, meaning "to remain", which is cognate with the Latin word manco. It means "remained" in the sense of "abandoned" and the formal translation is "surprised", in the military sense of "ambushed" (not in the sense of "astonished"). So the king is in mate when he is ambushed, at a loss, or abandoned to his fate (Davidson 1981:70-71). The term checkmate has come to mean in modern parlance an irrefutable and strategic victory.

1.play as black

2.attack knight with bishop

3.use knight and threaten rook (ne5)

4.threaten bishop (nc4)

5.take bishop

6.All that should be left is are the kings, the pawns, and the rooks. take the pawns with your king and rook before the computer's king and rook take yours. /kill the rook and checkmate black

(there is a strategy to taking all the pawns because the computer will most likely kill you before you kill him, it takes practice)

After you kill everything kill the castle then cross the bridge

kill everything defeat wind carver castle and cross bridge

do condors watch tower then the dragon priest the the spider.

cross the bridge again. kill the ruins, kill the dream gate, then kill the killer chessmaster, and finally attack the dragon's pinnacle and win.

Absolutely. The King or any other piece for that matter may move regardless of the fact that the Queen has been captured as long as the move is a legal move. Although, if your Queen has been captured and you haven't taken the other Queen, your King may not be moving for much longer as it is probably destined for a checkmate.

The Knight technically does not 'jump' but it appears to be able to 'jump' over pieces of its own color as well as pieces of its opponent's color. The other pieces of the same color cannot jump over each other. Neither can the other pieces jump over an opponent's piece.

Generally, you call them chessplayers. But, if their rating is from 1800-2000, they are called an Expert; 2001-2200, Master; 2201-2500, International Master; 2501+, Grandmaster.
