In Chess, the king can move one space in any direction*. The queen can move in any direction for any number of spaces*. The bishop must stay on his starting color and can move any number of spaces in a diagonal line*. The knight moves in an L-shape. The castles(rooks) can only move in a straight line*. The pawns move forward and can attack only if a piece is one space diagonally in front of them.
In Chess there are 6 different pieces used. King, Queen, Rook, Knight, Bishop, and pawn. Each of the pieces except the King has a point value: Queen 9, Rook 5, Knight and Bishop 3, and pawn 1.
Just to be prompt and to get you started I will JUST list the basics
The Pawn-Moves forward once and attacks once forward diagnole
Rook-Straight as many as it wants
Horse- The horse makes an L shape two forward and one to the side
Bishop-Diagnole as many as it wants
Queen-Anyway it wants as many as it wants a excellent peice
King-Same but only once
Every chess piece moves differently. The pawn moves forward two spaces on it's first turn and one space after that. It attacks by moving one diagonal forward. The castle(or rook) moves horizontally, at least until something gets in its way. The knight moves rather oddly. He is the only piece that can jump over other pieces. He moves three spaces in a L-shape. The bishop moves in a diagonal direction, but whatever color he starts on, he stays on that color. The king can move one space in any direction as long as he doesn't move into danger(check). The queen can move any number of spaces in any direction.
Pawns go forward 1 or 2 spaces the first time they are played; then they move 1 space forward or attack one space forward diagonal. Bishops move and attack only diagonally forwards or backwards, any distance. Knights always go two spaces in one direction then one space in the perpendicular direction. They can jump over pieces and can go forwards or backwards. The Queen can move in any direction and attack in any direction but can't go over pieces. The King moves one space at a time in any direction. Rooks can move any direction but diagonal and cannot go over pieces.
Chess is not about winning fast. You must follow these principles in order to win:
- Develop your centre pawns, knights and bishops in the opening. Castle to safety and connect your rooks.
- Watch out for unusual moves. The opponent might have left something behind.
- Understand defence. Know which pieces are defending which before you even consider attacking.
- Try not to force the opponent to move by attacking undefended pieces constantly or checking repeatedly.
- Find ways to win material if possible, using forks, pins, skewers, discoveries, checks and removing the defender. Many beginners often lose their pieces to knight forks.
- Use your king in the endgame. It makes life a lot easier.
Or if you want to win fast you can as long as the others don't move certain pieces. It is called a four move checkmate but it is technically a four move checkmate. You move the pawn in front of the king and than move the queen to C5. Than move the queen to h5. Than take the bishop at F7.
To win fast you need to be aggressive. By placing your knights on aggressive squares and have all your pieces attacking the centre. If they should castle, using all of your pieces to attack their king can result in an early checkmate or a winning endgame from where you should be able to swiftly finish off your opponent. In addition to attacking their king when they've castled, it is very likely you will ruin the structure of the pawns in front of the king thus exposing it to the rest of your attacking pieces where traps can easily be set and checkmate is often inevitable.
Pawns : Pawns can only move forward. On their first move, they can move one or two squares. Afterwards, they can move only one square at a time . They can capture an enemy piece by moving one square forward diagonally .
Bishops : Bishops can move any number of squares diagonally .
Knights : Knights can move only in an L-shape, one square up and two over, or two squares over and one down, or any such combination of one-two or two-one movements in any direction .
Rooks : Rooks can move any number of squares, up and down and side to side.
Queens : Queens can move any number of squares along ranks, files and diagonals .
Kings : Kings can move one square at a time in any direction .
