The king can move one square in any direction, except that he cannot move onto an attacked square, and thus into check. Additionally, the king effectively moves two squares in the special move called castling. Information on castling is linked below in the Related questions.
A Chess board is a square figure; separated into 64 black and white squares, forming a checkered pattern. The dimensions are 8 by 8 tiles. Two of the four corners will be black, and two will be white. There will be two chess players; each on an opposite side of the board. The white corners should always be towards the right of the players.
Each player gets 16 pieces, so, there are a total of 32 pieces on a chess board. Each side gets 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops a king and a queen. One player will have white pieces, and the other will have black pieces. The player that has the white pieces will move first in the game.
A good way to remember the position of the pieces is that the queen always goes on her color, in the center of the first rank on the board; with the king on the center square beside her. That is; the white queen goes on the white square, and the black queen on the black square.
There should be a bishop on either side of the king and queen, a knight on either side of the bishops and a rook on either side of the knights with a pawn one square in front of every piece.
