:)This page is excellent! It couldn't be better. It shows you all the rules, diagrams and all. Its great! :) Good :)

I can't say this page is excellent, because it has the old F.I.D.E. Rules.

Eaxctly what I was looking for!

Excellent short and complete summary of the rules! My questions were answered.

The description of castling mixes up the coordinates and the team colors according to the positioning diagram at the top of the page. It should read, 'When castling, the king moves two squares towards the rook, and the rook moves over the king to the next square, i.e., *black's* king on e*8* and rook on a*8* move to: king c*8*, rook d*8* (long castling), white's king on e1 and rook on h1 move to: king g1, rook f1 (short castling), and similar for black.

your web page saved an argument in less than 5 seconds thankyou

this page is great but should have some stragties for moving including foolsmate

Just got a chess board for Christmas...this is the best site for instructions. Thank you for taking the time. Pete Denk New Jersey

Hard to remember them all, but great illustration's

i'm a total novice and have never played looks like this will help

Thank you forthe rule information.

The information given employs an assumption of understanding prior to attempting the play. Using this page with young people who know nothing about the game, they found the descriptions of moves difficult to grasp. This also would apply to young children who's vocabulary does not reach the level of the words used. Perhaps a second version could be shown so these children could be taught too.

Easy and informative

You forgot to include a draw game when a player has a king with a lone bishop or a lone knight it is impossible to create a checkmate and therfore the game ends in a draw.

ifp rlayer has have a quen and and his pawn rich the other side its impossible to have a 2 quen

Great! This website has taught me a lot about the basics of chess. I am now the best chess player in my school!

great job it looks nice

I was impressed with your display of rules and want to share it with a young man in our school who I suggested start a chess club. It has been a long time since I have played and am looking for site that will explain the tracking of your moves. I tried to explain that in competition that you record your moves (which he did not know) but I could not recall after 45 years just how to record moves. Would you be able to direct me to such a site or provide me with an explanation I can share with the students. Thank you for your assistance. our e-mail address (for you only) is eugene.ratz@verizon.net Thank You Wanda
