Bobby ! Come here , look what I got you !   What is that ?   A chess board ! Daddy is going to teach you how to play !   Cool !   Ok , each player gets 16 pieces . You can be the white ones and I ’ ll play with the black pieces . Now in the front , you set up the pawns . Those are the least valuable pieces and can only move one space forward . When you are about to capture another piece , it can move one space diagonally .
