GAME RULES
Checkmate — The Object of the
Game
The object of the game is to position your
pieces so your next move would capture
the opponent’s king, and your opponent
cannot move, protect the king, or capture -|. The white pawn advances from E4
your piece. This is called checkmate. to E5. The black pawn is still in its
Check
original position (D7).
Check occurs when a player’s piece
directly threatens to capture the oppo¬
nent’s king, but the opponent can move
the king, or another piece, to escape
capture.
Capturing
To capture a piece, you move your piece
into the square occupied by the piece
you are capturing, except when captur¬
ing an opponent’s pawn en passant (see
“Capturing En Passant”). Remove the
captured piece from the board.
2. The black pawn advances from D7 to
D5.
3. The white pawn advances to D6
(one square behind the black pawn’s
position). The black pawn is cap¬
tured, even though the exact square
it is on was not occupied by the black
pawn.
PROMOTING A PAWN
When a pawn crosses the entire board,
it may be promoted to a queen or another
piece, even if the queen or other piece is
still on the board.
Capturing En Passant
A pawn can capture an opponent’s pawn
which has just moved 2 squares from its
original position.
CASTLING
Castling protects the king from a poten¬
tial check or checkmate situation by hid¬
ing it behind a fortified position.
Here’s an example of an en passant You may castle if all of the following
capture. conditions exist:
• The king has not moved from his
original position.
• The rook which you want to move by
castling has not moved from its origi¬
nal position.
