1. The initial position of chess pieces are as follows: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops and eight pawns for each player.
2. The aim of chess is to checkmate your opponent’s king by moving pieces strategically so that it cannot move or escape from the checkmate.
3. A player can move his pieces in any direction and can only move one piece at a time.
4. Pawns can only move one square forward at a time except on the first move, when they can move two squares forward.
5. Knights move in an ‘L’ shape and can jump over other pieces.
6. Bishops move diagonally in any direction but always have to stay on the same colored square.
7. The Queen can move any number of squares in any direction.
8. The Rooks can move any number of squares horizontally or vertically.
9. The King can move one square in any direction but cannot move into check.
