I've been teaching my Grandson how to play. Your site has provided him the
oppertunity to review what I have tought him and to skip ahead at his own
pace to learn new things.

Very well done. Thank you for your effort.

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.

Well done all. Very clear and now, after many years of not playing, I can set up my board again. Watch out Kasparov - Here I come !! - Mike in Ireland

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?

John Lawson wrote on Sun, Oct 26, 2003 01:14 AM UTC:

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

Bruce wrote on Sun, Dec 7, 2003 01:00 AM UTC:

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.

What happens to a pawn when it reaches the other side of the board?

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

Larry Smith wrote on Fri, Feb 13, 2004 02:32 AM UTC:

Replacement pieces for Pawn promotion are obtained from those which were
captured.  Rooks are often turned up-side down to represent extra Queens. 
If none are available, use a Checker under the promoted Pawn to represent
the new Queen.

Pawn promotion may also include other pieces besides the Queen.

Martin wrote on Tue, Jun 1, 2004 09:38 AM UTC:

Can a King opose another king, if it is protected in its placement by a check piece? Ie. The oposing King cannot take my king because it would mean moving into check.

Moussambani wrote on Tue, Jun 1, 2004 07:50 PM UTC:

No, it can't. True, the opponent's king would be moving into check, but the thing is you moved into check first. Though your king is protected, opponent's king could capture your king and it's game over. You lose immediately and don't have the chance to take his king back. So you cannot move your king next to opponent's king because that would be moving into check, no matter how protected your king is.

Can a king kill the piece that has him in check if it is within a space from him?

what pieces can a king kill? ive been having an argumetn about whether or not he can kill certain pieces

Greg Strong wrote on Fri, Aug 6, 2004 06:49 PM UTC:

The King can capture any piece. Only one thing to be careful of: the King cannot capture any piece that is protected by another piece. If you were to do this, you would be moving into Check. You must move out of Check, and never into it.
