Chess

It is not a general rule not to play any particular game. Each individual has to make their own informed decision about what God requires of them. Each person train their conscience different and their choices sometimes differs, with time, they can even decide differently, and no one - not any witness will judge the other - as Jehovah is the supreme judge. However, witnesses engage in what is spiritually upbuilding, and refressing. e.g a bible-based game produced by www.TheocraticGames.com is such a spiritually upbuilding game. We remember each one of them will give account to God alone.

If you mean in chess then when the knight moves, it can move anywhere so long as it is an L shape. So like, 1 space left then 2 spaces forward. Or 1 space forward and 2 spaces right.

No , the king cannot directly check the opposing king himself, since this would place the first king in check.

Chess

If a player still has a pawn, this pawn can be promoted to a greater piece (Queen, Bishop, Rook, or Knight -- usually the Queen is chosen) and, if the queen or rook is chosen, this means a win for the player starting with the pawn. Stalemate only occurs if the pawn is captured by the opponent before it can be promoted. Also, if a player is left with only a king and knight, or only a king and bishop, and the opponent only has a king, or a king with either (a bishop or knight), in these situations, it is impossible to bring the opponent to checkmate. Only with the king and a rook or (obviously) with the king and a queen, can checkmate be accomplished.

Yes, a pawn may capture any piece on the board as long as it is a legal move. One way it could happen is the pawn is blocking lets say a Bishop or a Rook from attacking the opponent's king. The pawn moves to a square where it attacks the Queen. Normally the Queen would either just capture the pawn or move away from it. But if the move of the pawn now places the king in check from that Bishop or Rook (this is called a discovered check) the King must move out of check. If the player now in check has no alternative but to move the King out of check, then once he moves the king, the pawn is free to capture the Queen.

The infinitive phrase is adjectival: it qualifies "way"

The sentence expresses the idea that an "easy" way and a "to win at chess" way cannot coincide.

It is similar to "A twenty kilogram miniature poodle doesn't exist", where the phrase is perhaps more clearly adjectival.

There are 64 squares

2 knights

2 bishops

2 rooks

1 queen

1 king

makes 8 pieces along the back row (pawns go across the front, 1 in front of each piece)

8x8=64 squares on a square board.

no u cant move diagonally

It depens on what your chess board looks like!!!

The lighter or clearer one....

It doesn't matter really!!!

This is an example of an impossible scenario in chess. You can never capture a king; you can only checkmate it.

There was no man that made chess in third grade my teacher told me that chess was made when a king and queen had to battle another kingdom they invented a game and whomever won that game would win.

To solve this, observe that a chess board is an 8×8 square, containing 64 squares. If the amount of grains doubles on successive squares, then the sum of grains on all 64 squares is:

This equals 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 (18.4 quintillion). hope that helped XD xx

The knight has a relative strength value of 3. It would be incorrect to think of the knight being worth 3 points as if capturing it gives the player 3 points toward some kind of winning point total. The other relative values are queen 9;rook 5; bishop 3; pawn 1; king priceless.

To have two , or more , queens would require that you advance a pawn to the last rank where you may then promote the pawn to a queen or any other chess piece other than a king .

Castling in chess is a special move where you move two pieces at once (your king and a rook). To castle the following conditions must be met: 1) the king and the rook have not been moved, 2) the king is not in check, 3) the king will not move through or end up in check, and 4) there are no pieces between the king and rook. To castle, move the king two squares toward the rook, then move the rook to the square on the other side of the king and adjacent to it like below: K _ _ R (before castling) _ R K _ (after castling) R _ _ _ K (before castling) _ _ K R _ (after castling)

Incorrect: The castle in chess can move as any spaces desired right, left, up, or down, but not diagonally! There is another move called "castle king side". this is when the king and the castle in the same row and with no players in between them, and they switch places! ================== Answer: There seems to be some confusion, above, between the move to 'castle' and the piece that looks like a castle, but is actually named the 'rook.' The rook can move any number of spaces forward or back, or from side to side (providing that another piece is not blocking its way), but not diagonally. 'Castling' is a special move involving both the king and either one of the rooks. Castling can be done on either the king's side or the queen's side of the board. There are a few technicalities to the move that have been answered in other questions in this subcategory. It is not correct to say the pieces just switch places.

A chess board has 64 squares - but if you look closely, you can make another square out of every 2x2 (49), 3x3 (49) 4x4 (25) 5x5 (16) 6x6 (9) 7x7 (4) and finally one 8x8 square - so 64 + 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 204 squares.

If we assume "rectangles" are all other rectangles that are not also squares (it could be argued that a rectangle is a square - in which case you add 204 to the number I compute here), then you can see a whole bunch more.

It helps to know that 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n = n x (n+1) / 2 (speeds up the math)

1 square tall:

2 x 1: 7 per row times 8 rows = 56

3 x 1: 6 per row ... = 48

for a total of (7+6+5+4+3+2+1) x 8 (rows) = 8 x 8 x 7 / 2 = 224

2 squares tall:

(7 + 6 + ...) x 7 x 2 = 8 x 7 x 7 / 2

You can see that if we keep going we get

8 x (8 + 7 + 6 + ... + 1) x 7 / 2 = 8 x ( 8 x (8 + 1 ) / 2 ) x 7 / 2 = 2 x 8 x 9 x 7

total number of rectangles = 1008

So the answer is 204 squares and 1008 (non-square) rectangles, or 204 squares and 1212 "rectangles" (including squares).

No. You cannot have more than one King on the board, and once you lose the King (checkmated), the game is over. You can, however, exchange the pawn for any ranking chesspiece (Queen, Bishop, etc,) provided the piece you are exchanging for has been taken by the oppsong side. You cannot exchange the pawn for a chesspiece that hasn't been taken. ================================ The last point is in error. The pawn can be promoted to any piece, except a king, by reaching the back row on your opponent's side of the board. But there is no requirement that the piece first be captured by your opponent. And yes! you can have two (or more) queens on the board that way. === As a practical matter, as #2 says, you may have two or more queens-you can identify additional queens by using upside-down rooks (if you have lost any). Otherwise, tie a little ribbon around the pawn you are exchanging to identify it as a queen.

As the origins of Chess are obscure and the game has evolved somewhat over the centuries since it was first played, we cannot know who thought up the game or who first played it.

Whenever a pawn reaches the 8th rank (the end of the board opposite that on which you started) you can promote that pawn. This means that you trade out that pawn for any piece you want. Note that it doesn't have to be a piece you've already lost during the game...you could have two queens out at the same time if you want. While in most cases it is best to "queen" your pawn, it is sometimes beneficial to "underpromote", or promote your pawn to a piece weaker than a queen. This is often done to a knight, since it's the one piece who can move in ways the queen can't. It also is sometimes worth promoting to a rook, in cases where promoting to a queen would put the opposing king in stalemate.
