	INITIAL POSITION
	You see the initial position . Each side has 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Rooks, 2 Bishops, 2 Knights and 8 pawns. The chessboard must be placed between the players in such a way that the near corner square to the right of the player is white. White commences the game. Your aim is to checkmate ( capture ) your opponent's King.
	CHECKMATE
	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
	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.
