White always move first.
1.Before you touch any piece you first have to observe that there is no other soldiers that might kill you. Because in Chess it works like this. The piece you touch must be moved.
When you are playing in competitions, you are not allowed to talk. The only two words that you allow to say is: "check" and "checkmate".
Make sure that all your soldiers are under protection.
For Example
The White Bishop is in danger al though it move under protection.If the Black Bishop or Black Rook capture it. Then the White Knight and White Rook is there to help.
You have to protect your King at all times, because if he is being captured you lose the game. We call it checkmate.
You always have to make sure that your soldiers are also protected.
Now that we've done all the hard work it's time to play chess.
Let's look at the following examples, then you might understand better.
The White Bishop is in danger al though it moved under protection.If the Black Bishop or Black Rook capture it. Then the White knight and Rook is there to help.
In this example, move the White Bishop on a save place.
None of the Black Soldiers can capture it.
In this example the White king is in check by the Black Queen. The white king has only one place to go.It can only go to the black block. It is nearley in Checkmate.
The White King is in Checkmate
There are four reasons.
1* It is in Check by the Black Queen
2If the King moves to the white block the Black bishop can capture it.
3 The King can't move to the black block because then the Knight will capture it.
In other words the White king is in Checkmate because it can't go nowhere. White loose and Black Win.
now black is allowed to say Checkmate.
I hope you learn a lot and you are ready to play chess now.
