I Home School my younger son and the Home School Group has a Chess Class that he has joined. His older sisters are helping him and I felt I needed to learn also. I looked at both 'The Rules Of Chess' and 'Chess Rules for Kids' and it has helped both my son and I...but I am finding that children seem to learn faster then us older adults! :)

Debbie wrote on Sat, Jan 4, 2003 10:36 PM EST:Excellent ★★★★★I found this site very simplified and easy to read. Except, some of the colors, I had to highlight in order to see them. I haven't played chess in years and my kids are just learning, so I needed to refresh my memory. Thankyou very much, it was extremely informative.

Ms. B. Norton wrote on Sun, Feb 9, 2003 05:36 PM EST:Excellent ★★★★★I will be using this page with my 8th grade class. We're reading a story called 'Rules of The Game' by Amy Tan. The main character from the story plays chess and becomes very good at it. I thought this website would be a great introduction to the story. This website is very user friendly. It made the rules of the game understandable. Not to mention, I enjoyed the interactive screens, reinforcing the rules of the game and how various chess pieces can move. I'm sure my 8th grade class will find it very helpful ( you'll be hearing from them very soon!)

I'm puzzled by the last comment. My screen shows an accurate board.
Clear and concise instructions - a pleasure to use. My daughters aged 7 and 9 have just discovered chess and this site has really helped. Thanks.
Doesn't the king always goes in his color?
No, the King moves one space horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, so he can go to squares of either color.
Very nice, my daughter found the illustrations quite useful.
I like the game of chess
To the comment about the king always going in his own color, I think it was in reference to setting up the board. It is actually the queen that always goes on her own color (i.e., dark queen on the dark square). The opposing sides should be a mirror image of each other (queen and king directly across from each other). And don't forget to position the board correctly: a light square under the kings' rooks.

in reference to castling can you castle if the king passes thru check on the way over 2 spots i believe no
You believe right. The king cannot castle through check (or out of check for that matter). the rook CAN pass through an attacked square.
how do i get a replacement piece for the pawn promtion
