Heres how the pieces should look set up
General Rules
The ultimate aim in the game of chess is to win by trapping your opponent's king. This is called checkmate.
White is ALWAYS first to move and players take turns alternately moving one piece at a time. Moving is required or compulsory.
Each type of piece has its own method of movement (described in the following sections). A piece may be moved to another position or may capture an opponent's piece. This is done by landing on the appropriate square with the moving piece and removing the defending piece from play.
With the exception of the knight, a piece may not move over or through any of the other pieces.
In tournament play, once a piece has been touched by a player, it must be moved.
Setup and Movment
The chessboard is made up of eight rows and eight columns for a total of 64 squares of alternating colors. When the board is set up it should be positioned so that a light square is positioned on the extreme lower right hand side of the chess board. When setting up, make sure that the light queen is positioned on a light square and the dark queen is situated on a dark square. The farthest row back rows should be set up in the following order from left to right: Rook(the castle shaped one),Knight(the horse shape), Bishop (the round tower shape),King or Queen (based on the color you have),Bishop, Knight,Rook. The next row should all be Pawns. The two armies should be mirror images of one another. The light side always moves first. Each player's side of the chessboard is determined by chance. Usually by one player placing a pawn in each hand and closing his fists. Holding forth his fists the opposing player picks one. Whatever color the pawn he chooses is the side he shall command.
Pawn- Most plentiful unit at chess. Moves 1 space forward and defeats opponents diagonally.
Rook- Unit that has many special capabilities in different situations. Moves horizontally.
Bishop- A unit that is opposite of the rook. Moves diagonally.
Knight- An agile unit that moves 2 spaces forward and 1 space right or 1 space forward and 2 spaces right.
Queen- The most strongest unit. Can move fully in all directions horizontally and diagonally.
King- Your most precious unit that influences the game. If the king is dead you lose. Can move 1 space in all directions.
