White commences the game. Your aim is to checkmate ( capture ) your opponent's King.


CHECKMATE

check mate After you threat your opponent's king , if your opponent can't find any appropriate square to escape his king or can't capture the attacking piece or place another piece between his king and the attacker , he is checkmated.


CAPTURE


When you move your piece properly to a square occupied by an opponent's piece , you capture this piece . Captured piece is now out of the chessboard.


The KING

move of the king The most important chess piece is the king because if your king is captured , you lose the game.
The king can move one square in any direction that is not attacked by an opponent’s piece. If it is attacked by an opponent’s piece , it is in check.
Castling


The king has a special move done with the rook. It is called castling. For the short and long castling see castling page.
