  • Basics
    • The goal of the game of chess is to put the opposing King in checkmate where they can not make a move out of it.
    • If the opponent puts your King in checkmate and you can not move out of it then you lose.
    • In this game the player playing as humans has the first turn and the player (human or computer) who is playing as the ghouls goes second.
    • The player’s pieces start at the bottom of the board while the computer starts at the top of the board.
  • Pieces
    • This game uses a standard chess board and a standard set of pieces.
    • The piece list is shown below.
    • In this game you can promote pawns. Multiple pawns can be promoted to the same rank. You could, for instance, have multiple Queens.
  • Difficulty

Basic Chess Strategy for Beginners

The following table shows the moves you can make with the various piece types.

Castling is the only move that allows two pieces to move during the same turn. During castling a king moves two spaces towards the rook that it will castle with, and the rook jumps on the other side. The king can castle on either side so long as:

1. The king has not moved.
2. The king is not in check.
3. The king does not move through or into a check.
4. There are no pieces between the king and the castling-side rook.
5. The castling-side rook has not moved.
