Chess

Step 1: Place the 8 white pawns from a-h2, and the 8 black pawns from a-h7.

Step 2: Place the white rooks on a1 and h1, and the black rooks on a8 and h8.

Step 3: Place the white knights on b1 and g1, and the black knights on b8 and g8.

Step 4: Place the white bishops on c1 and f1, and the black bishops on c8 and f8.

Step 5: Place the white queen on d1, the black one goes on d8.

Step 6: Almost there! Now place the white king on e1, and black goes on e8.

That is how you set up a chessboard.

There are several chess rules related to this question.

First, no number of consecutive checks automatically creates a checkmate.

Second, there is only one limit to the length of a game without a checkmate, called the 50-move rule. You could put your opponent in check 49 times without a checkmate, but on the 50th move (assuming there has been no pawn move or capture) the game is a stalemate (a draw).

Third, many checkmates occur the very first time the enemy king is placed in check.

Fourth, there is a rule called "perpetual check". If you can show that no matter what your opponent does, you can again put him in check every move, you can call a stalemate (draw). This is a useful rule if you have a big disadvantage but the enemy king is exposed.

It really depends on what you're asking.

When in check, the only legal moves are moves that would serve to get you out of check.

If capturing the rook with your pawn would mean your king was no longer in check, then yes, the rook may be taken. If capturing the rook with your pawn would mean that your king would be in check by another piece, then no, the rook may not be taken.

Uncovering the king and it's exposure to check is an illegal move .

A tie in chess is called a draw. A draw may occur several ways. 1. Automatically according to the rules, such as where one player has only a King and the other player has a King and a Bishop; 2. The players agree between themselves that the game is a draw. 3. 50 consecutive moves are made without a piece being captured or a pawn moved. 4. A stalemate. 5. One player may claim a draw if over three consecutive moves the same pieces have been moved the same way.

The opponent can resign if he thinks his situation is unwinnable, though technically that's just ending the game early before an impending checkmate.

Yes you can.

This is what someone said:

No.

For that to happen in the previous move the king put himself at check, in an adjacent square to the enemy king's square, which is an illegal move.

But I say:

Yes.

the king can capture another king ONLY if the king is protected like a white queen protects a white king.

There is no guaranteed way to win a chess game in five steps, it is possible but it requires your opponent to make very specific steps that leave him open in such a way that you can quickly take advantage of it.

That being said if you simply want to "end" a chess game in five steps (assuming your playing white)

1. Knight to C3

2. Pawn G3

3. Bishop to H3

4. Knight to D5

5. Very carefully and calmly place your finger on top of the King and tip him over (this is how you surrender in chess)

Note: steps 1-4 can be replaced by literally any legal moves that aren't surrender, and step five can be replace by "Very carelessly and un-calmly place your hands under the board/table and tip the whole thing"

The Queen is second only to the King in strength and power for she , with the exception of the Knight , can move like every chess piece since she incorporates the power of every chess-men's move .

A board game piece represents a person who is playing the game (in a game such as Monopoly). Chess pieces are a bit different, they represent soldiers or leaders in a war being played out on the board. In Risk, pieces represent military units, such as battalions. Different games have different designs.

the common soldier of a poor family who was forced to fight in battle.

Of course. Chess was still "growing up" back then, but people were playing and enjoying the game. It's standing as a national and international event was blooming fiercely. It was in the Victorian era that chess evolved into the form in which we see it today, and more and more people took up the game.

Yes, if the king is in check, the next move must take the king out of check. You do not necessarily have to move the king, you could take the attacking piece, or block the check by moving a piece in the way.

It depends on the exposure. If you are lapping each board 1 1/4" you have a 6" exposure. This would give 6 square feet coverage per board, and would take 17 boards to cover 100 square eet (1 square)

Exposure (in feet) * Length = Square foot of coverage per board

1 square = 100 square feet

A chess timer or time clock is a device with two timing clocks side by side, one for each player. There is a button or plunger on the top of each timer. When one of the buttons or plungers is pressed, that timer stops running and automatically starts the other timer running. Depending on the situation or agreement between the players, the time period may vary. Its purpose is to either force players to make a minimum number of moves within a particular period of time or to make any type of move before the time runs out while it is that player's move. In official tournament matches the clocks are set for two and a half hours each with the requirement that each player must make at least 40 moves within that time. After that time, the game may go on with no further time restraints. In non-official games, the players may agree to any time period as they choose. For example, a "Blitz" game is usually 5 minutes long, but the purpose of the time period is not to force a certain number of moves within that time. A Blitz game is a kind of Musical Chairs on the chess board. If a player's time runs out while it is his/her move, that player loses. In informal games, the players may agree on any period of time. Many players love Blitz games for the rush of action that occurs as each player moves pieces almost by instinct rather than carefully thought out strategies There simply is no time for too much thought. There are two types of clocks. One is where the clock simply stops when the player presses the button/plunger. The other type is where the clock stops but backs up about 3 seconds. This is to compensate for the time it takes the player to move his/her hand from the moved piece over to the timer to stop his/her clock.

Chess pieces (King, Queen, Bishops, Knights, Rooks) can move forward, back, and from side to side, even to return to their starting position. Pawns can only more forward and can not move backwards. A pawn can only move diagonally one square to capture an opponent's chess piece. Bishops can only move diagonally along their starting square's colour. Knights can jump over pieces, but must move in an 'L' movement (two squares forward and one to either side, or one forward and two squares to either side.

The final stage of a chess match is called the "endgame." The previous two stages are called the "opening" and the "middle game." The endgame usually, but not always, begins when the two queens are off the board. If the queens are traded off in the very beginning of the game with most of the other pieces still remaining, it would still be considered the middle game for awhile.
Ok, there are 3 main stages, the last two are The Middle Game The End game the last stage is the end game and at this point most of the pieces have been taken and the aim is to promote a pawn at this stage (a pawns value increases when this stage is reached

A queen and a bishop.

For white, the queen is on the king's left and the bishop is on his right.

For black, the queen is on the king's right and the bishop is on his left.

No

Yes, it is known as the fool's mate. If you want to peform it you must be extremely lucky! (Note that only white can be checkmated.) You would have to be black to win!

1. If white moves the pawn on f2 up 1 or 2 spaces, it's going well.

2. Then you move the pawn on e7 up 1 or 2 spaces.

3. Hopefully white moves the pawn on g2 up 2 spaces, then it'll be mate next move!

4. The only piece that can attack the king now is your queen, so move it to h4 and it's checkmate!
