Chess. The rules of chess. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Larry Smith wrote on Fri, Jun 3, 2005 05:35 AM UTC:

You must resolve the check on your King. If this can involve checking the opponent, good for you. But your King cannot be in check at the end of your move. If you are unable to remove the check on your King, you are mated and have lost the game.

With the pawns, is it possible for them to move two spaces for every first move that they make? I have always been under the impression that the first move of the pawn, the piece can be moved two spaces for the first move and only one move subsequently. Please answer my question as I am having an ongoing debate about this point. Thank-you!

Each pawn may move two squares forward on its first move. See the <a href='http://www.chessvariants.org/d.chess/pawnfaq.html'>Pawn FAQ</a> for answers to questions about the pawns.

After all of one side's pieces have been taken except for the king, how many moves does the other side have to put him in checkmate?

Doug Chatham wrote on Tue, Jun 7, 2005 06:26 PM UTC:

That's question 1 on the <a href='http://www.chessvariants.org/d.chess/faq.html'>Chess FAQ</a> page. The answer is 42...er...50, with some details.

These instuctions are well written. My 10 year old is learning the game faster and with less argument with the rules on hand.

Thank you for the great information- My 11 y.o. son and husband were playing and were unsure of the rules for a stalemate- you answered their question. These rules are very easy to follow-we like the diagrams.
