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).

Quantum chess is a variant of traditional chess that incorporates principles of quantum mechanics.
