There are many rules in Chess.

I'll start with the movement of pieces:

Pawn-a pawn on its first move can move one or two spaces, after its first move it can only move one. To attack a piece it can move diagonally one space. The pawn can not attack a piece that is straight ahead of it.

Knight-The knight is the only piece that can go over the pieces of its same color. This makes the knight very usable in the beginning of the game. The knight moves in an L shape moving two spaces one way and then one space horizontally

Bishop-The bishop simply moves diagonally as much as possible until blocked by another piece

Rook-The rook can move horizontally or vertically any amount of spaces it wants until blocked by another piece.

King-The king can move in any direction one space as long as it is not blocked by a piece of the same color or is threatened by an opponent's piece (I'll talk more about this later)

Queen-The queen can move any direction as many spaces as possible

The key to the game is to checkmate the opposing side's king which is to get the king to not be able to move and also be threatened at the same time. Threatening a king is when an opposing piece is getting ready to attack the king forcing the king to move, another piece to attack the threatening piece, or block the piece. For example, if an opposing rook is vertically from a king with no pieces blocking the two, the king is threatened and the player threatening the king must say "check".

Here are a few complicated rules of chess:

Castling: Castling is a technique used in chess to usually add extra defense and also to get the rook out quicker. This is where the king move two spaces towards the rook and the rook goes to the other side of the king. This is only possible however when the all the pieces between the rook and the king have moved, the king is not in check, if both the king and the rook have not moved (this does not mean you move your king or rook and then move them right back to where they were), and if there are no spaces in between the rook and the king that are being threatened. There is more information about this in the related link below.

En passant: This one is hard to explain without a picture, so check the related link below to know how this move works.

Ways to win/lose:

Checkmate: The most common way to win/lose is by checkmate which I explained above.

Resignation: Resignation is when a player decides to quit. This is often shown by tipping your own king over.

Ways to draw:

Stalemate: Stalemate is when a person has no legal moves. If the king and every piece left on the board can not move than the game is a draw.

Offering and agreeing to a draw: Someone may offer to draw. If the opponent agrees to the draw, the game is simply a draw.

The 50-move rule: When one person has only a king, after 50 moves from that moment a person may accept the draw. Now moves refers to both players moving a piece (this does not mean every time a piece moves).

Rules:

In the game Checkers, 2 players have lined up pieces on only one of the colored squares. The other color, or type of square cannot be landed on.

Your piece can only move one square at a time unless you are "jumping" the opposing players piece. to jump a piece the opposing player's piece must be on a square at the exact corner of your square. If this is possible, your piece goes over the other players piece and the square it was in, into the square on the corner in which you'd been jumping. (Example: You jump diagonally in the upper right corner over a piece on the square in the upper right corner, of where your opponents piece was.) After a piece is fairly jumped, the piece jumped over is then removed from the game.

You are not allowed to go backwards or towards the way you started. You can only go back once your piece has successfully reached the opposite side of the game board, and you've been "kinged"

Goal:

The goal of the Checkers game is to clear the board of the opposing teams pieces by "Jumping them all. You also want to get as many of your pieces possible to the very opposite side of the game board, where they get kinged, and you are allowed to move any diagonal direction, whereas you cannot if your not kinged.

In various games however you win fairly if none of the opposing players pieces can move in the diagonal direction they are allowed to, and you can. In other games though, it is considered a tie.

The rules are actually quite simple. There are twelve checkers to a side. They are placed on the black squares closest to each player's side of the board. Each player is required to move a checker, diagonally each turn. If he has the opportunity to "jump" an opponent's checker, also diagonally, he must. In which case the opposing checker is removed from play. Checkers may only move forward, unless they get to the other side of the board. In which case they are crowned (with another checker) and can move either forward or backward. The object is to completely remove the other player's checkers.

If a player lets go of the piece, then moves it back and makes another move it is cheating.
