Chess is a very popular two-player strategy game that originated in India many centuries ago. To win the game, you must “check out” your opponent by moving the pieces so that the opponent’s King is in a position of threat of being captured and cannot be resolved. Although the rules are fairly easy to understand, chess requires strategy to beat a qualified player. After learning the basic rules and playing practice games, you’ll be able to challenge other players and win!
Steps
Set up the chessboard and the pieces

Place the chessboard so that each opponent has a black square in the left corner. Two players will sit opposite each other at the start of the game. Rotate the board so that each opponent has a black square in the lower left corner and a white tile in the lower right corner. [1] X Research Source
- You can use the rhyming English phrase “white on the right” to remember how to stack the chessboard.

Know the basics of chess: A chess board has 64 alternating white and black squares. The chess set consists of 32 pieces, 16 black pieces and 16 white pieces. Each side will have 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Rooks, 2 Statues, 2 Knights and 8 Pawns.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c7/Play-Chess-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-8- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c7/Play-Chess-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Learn about the row and column system for placing pieces and recording the game. Rows are horizontal cells, and columns are vertical cells connecting two opponents. Rows are numbered 1 through 8, starting from the white player’s left hand side. The columns are numbered alphabetically from “a” to “h”, starting from the left of the white player. A particular square on the chessboard will be marked with a row followed by a column. [2] X Research Source
- For example, the left corner of the white side would be denoted a1, while the left corner of the black side would be denoted h8.
- Learn to record the game by rewriting each player’s move with the piece symbols and the square it moves to.
- You don’t have to use row and column notation if you don’t need to, but it will make it easier to build the board.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b0/Play-Chess-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-2- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b0/Play-Chess-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Place rooks in the corners of the board. The rook is shaped like a castle’s watchtower. It can move vertically or horizontally across as many squares as it wants, but cannot overtake other pieces. Place the white rooks in cells a1 and h1; Place the Black rooks in squares a8 and h8. [3] X Research Sources
- The rook is denoted by the letter “X” (international symbol is “R”).
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9e/Play-Chess-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-3- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9e/Play-Chess-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Place the Knights next to the Rook. The Knight has the shape of a horse and moves in an L-shape by crossing 2 squares and then going along 1 square, or going along 2 squares and then 1 square. Place the White Knights in cells b1 and g1; Place the Black Knights on b8 and g8. [4] X Research Sources
- The Knight is the only piece that can jump over other pieces, as long as its target square is empty.
- The Knight is denoted by “M” (international symbol is “N” or “Kt”).
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5a/Play-Chess-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-4- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5a/Play-Chess-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Place the Statue next to the Knight. The statue is the third tallest piece on the board and moves diagonally. If you have a white piece, place a bishop in squares c1 and f1. The black bishop will be placed in squares c8 and f8. [5] X Research Sources
- The bishop cannot enter a square of a different color than the one from which it started.
- Mark the bishop with the letter “T” (international symbol “B”).
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/49/Play-Chess-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-5- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/49/Play-Chess-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Place the Queen in the box of the same color as it in the lower row. The queen is the second tallest piece and can move as many squares as she wants in any direction, as long as the tiles in the path are empty. Place the white queen at d1 and the black queen at d8 so that they face each other across the board. [6] X Research Sources
- The Queen cannot change direction during a move.
- The Queen has the symbol “H” (international symbol is “Q”).
The queen is the most powerful piece on the chessboard. It can go horizontally, vertically and diagonally.

Place the King next to the Queen. The king is the tallest piece on the board and is the piece you need to protect throughout the game. The King can move 1 square at a time in any direction when it’s his turn. Place the King next to the Queen to complete the bottom row. [7] X Research Sources
- You cannot move the King to a square where it can be captured the next turn.
- The King is denoted by the letter “V” (international symbol is “K”.
A King is never placed in a square where it can be captured the next turn, so two Kings cannot stand in adjacent squares.

Place the Pawns in a row in front of the other pieces. Pawns are the lowest and weakest pieces on the chessboard. The Pawn can only move 1 space forward towards the opponent on the board. Place white pawns in each square in row 2 and black pawns in squares in row 7. [8] X Research Source
- Pawns are not marked with symbols.
Tip: On the first move, the Pawns can move 1 or 2 spaces ahead. After the first move, the Pawn can only move one square at a time.

Start the game with the turn of the white piece. The player holding the white piece is always the one to go first. Choose a movable piece and place it in its new position. After the white side’s turn is the black side’s turn; so that the two sides take turns going after the opponent has made a move. [9] X Research Source
- If playing more than one game of chess, two players should take turns holding a white piece once to be fair.
- The player holding the white piece has a slight advantage because they have the initiative to make the opening move.
- Try to gain control of the 4 central squares d4, e4, d5, and e5 at the beginning of the game because they are the most flexible and controllable positions for your pieces. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/be/Play-Chess-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-14- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/be/Play-Chess-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Capture the opponent’s piece by moving your piece to the opponent’s tile. Capture means to land on the opponent’s tile and remove the captured piece from play. Try to capture your opponent’s stronger pieces such as Queens, Rooks and Statues to reduce the power of their turns. [11] X Research Source
- The Pawn cannot capture pieces in its path like other pieces. The Pawn can only take the pieces in the front diagonal.
- You cannot capture the opponent’s King. However, to win the game, you need to place the pieces in a position where you can capture the opponent’s King.
Tip: While moving your piece, you need to watch to see if your opponent can capture your piece on their next turn. Defend your piece and try to capture the opponent’s piece.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f5/Play-Chess-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-10- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f5/Play-Chess-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Show your opponent’s King. Move the piece to a position where it is likely to capture the opponent’s King in the next turn. When screening, you need to say “projection” aloud to let the other person know. Your opponent will have to get out of the game on the next turn by either moving their King, blocking your path, or taking your piece. [12] X Research Source
- The King can take the opponent’s piece only if it is not shown after taking that piece.
- When caught, you must do something to protect your King, or you will lose.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c9/Play-Chess-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-16- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c9/Play-Chess-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
End the game by showing all the opponent’s Kings. Checkout is when you put your opponent’s King in a drawn position and they have no moves to defend it. When this situation occurs, say “show all” to declare the end of the game. Let your opponent check to see if they can make any moves before claiming victory! [13] X Research Source
- The game can end in a draw if neither side has the ability to show all, for example if there are only two Kings left on the chessboard.
Use special moves
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f4/Play-Chess-Step-26-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-26- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f4/Play-Chess-Step-26-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-26-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Catch a Pawn by the “en passant” rule. En passant, which means “crossing the road” in French, refers to a pawn that captures another pawn after its first move. You can only take a Pawn across the lane if your opponent moves a Pawn from its original position 2 squares to the square next to your Pawn. In this case, you can move the Pawn to the square behind the opponent’s pawn to capture it. [14] X Research Source
- You can only make a Pawn cross on your turn immediately after your opponent moves a Pawn, not waiting for any subsequent moves.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9f/Play-Chess-Step-27-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-27- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9f/Play-Chess-Step-27-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-27-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Level up the Pawn by taking the Pawn all the way to the end of the board. If you move a Pawn to the last row of your opponent’s side of the board, it will immediately be promoted to whatever piece you choose (except the King). In most cases, the Pawn is promoted to the Queen, as it is the strongest piece. When the Pawn is promoted, it doesn’t matter if your Queen is captured or not. Thus, you can have multiple Queens on the board at the same time. [15] X Research Source
- To indicate a pawn grant, record the cell where the pawn was promoted, then mark with an equal, followed by the letter H (or Q) representing the pawn is now queen. For example, you could write c8=Q.
- Sometimes the Pawn is promoted to other pieces of less value than the Queen to avoid running out of moves or to take advantage of the King’s move.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/09/Play-Chess-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-14- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/09/Play-Chess-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Protect the King by entering the city. In a game of chess, you can make a special move called a castle. Make the move by moving the King 2 squares across towards one of the rooks, followed by moving the rook to the square next to the king on the other side in the same move. [16] X Research Source
- You cannot enter the castle if the King is checked in the move first, or if the King is checked after making the move. You also cannot enter any cell that is being attacked by the opponent’s pieces.
Note: You can only enter the castle when the King and the rook have not moved and there must be space between the two pieces.
Develop a strategy to win chess
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d7/Play-Chess-Step-16-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-16- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d7/Play-Chess-Step-16-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-16-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Learn the relative value of each piece. Each piece in a chess game is evaluated differently based on its power. The Queen is the most powerful piece and is worth 9 points. Rooks are worth 6 points, Statues and Tokens are worth 3 points, Pawns are worth 1 point. Try to protect the higher value pieces so you can use them at the end of the game. [17] X Research Source
- The value of the King is not assessed as it cannot be captured.
- Compare the total value of all the pieces left on each opponent’s board to determine who has the material advantage.
- Scoring is also helpful when you’re considering capturing troops. For example, using lower value pieces to capture higher value pieces will give you more advantage.
- There are exceptions to this law. Pieces can have different values depending on certain positions.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/32/Play-Chess-Step-24-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-24- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/32/Play-Chess-Step-24-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-24-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Defend the chess pieces. Every time your opponent takes their turn, take advantage of the checkerboard. Move your pieces out of the way if your opponent tries to capture them on their next turn. Try capturing a piece that threatens your piece or moving one of your pieces to a position that threatens a piece. opponent’s strength.
- You can give away a piece to lure your opponent into a trap to capture an even more valuable piece.
- Try to think ahead many moves to calculate and deal with the opponent’s moves and stop at whatever plan they are going.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b4/Play-Chess-Step-19-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Play-Chess-Step-19- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b4/Play-Chess-Step-19-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Play- Chess-Step-19-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Try to control the central area of the board. The pieces near the center have the most advantage because they have the most flexibility and control. This will force your opponent to move to either side of the board, where there are fewer move options. When you control the center, you will have the advantage of playing more offensively and pushing the opponent into a defensive position. [18] X Research Sources
Tip: Keep 1 or 2 Pawns in the middle of the board so you can still use stronger pieces to attack.
Advice
- Play against opponents of the same level as you to make the game more competitive and interesting.
- Keep playing chess and practice to improve your level.
- Always check the board after your opponent’s turn to see if your pieces are under threat.
- Use all the pieces to force the opponent out.
