NATURE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE GAME

NATURE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE GAME
The game of chess is played between two opponents
who move their pieces alternately on a square board
called a chessboard.
The player with the White pieces commences the
game. A player is said to ‘have the move’ when his
opponent’s move has been completed.
Source: chess-teacher.com/chess-rules
The objective of the game is to trap the opponent’s king so that its
escape is not possible (checkmate).
If a player’s king is threatened with capture, it is said to be in check. The
player must remove the threat of capture on the next move. If this
cannot be done, the king is said to be in checkmate.
If neither player can possibly achieve a checkmate, the game is drawn.
Although the king is the most important piece, it is usually the weakest
piece until the endgame.

WHY TO NAME A SQUARE?
Keeping a record of chess moves will be very useful in
improving your standard of chess.
It is mandatory in all recognized tournaments, in
order to settle disputes about illegal positions,
overstepping time control and making claims for a
draw by the fifty-move rule or repetition of position.

THE VERTICAL FILES ARE LABELLED IN SMALL LETTERS “A” TO “H”,
FROM WHITE’S LEFT TO WHITE’S RIGHT. SIMILARLY, THE
HORIZONTAL RANKS ARE NUMBERED FROM 1 TO 8.
Source: chess-teacher.com/chess-rules
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE LETTERS USED IN CAPITALS TO REPRESENT
VARIOUS PIECES.
A PAWN DOES NOT HAVE ANY SPECIFIC SYMBOL BUT IS
REPRESENTED BY THE NAME OF THE SQUARE IT OCCUPIES, I.E. IT IS
NOT INDICATED BY ITS FIRST LETTER BUT RECOGNIZED BY THE
ABSENCE OF SUCH A LETTER.
