When the board is set up for play, each of the

players should have a light-coloured corner square

at his right. Each player's pieces are arranged at the

beginning of the game on the two ranks nearest

them. Each player picks a colour and arranges their

pieces on the board as shown in (Fig. 1).

The 16 colour pieces in each set are as follows:

(1) KING, (1) QUEEN, (2) BISHOPS, (2) KNIGHTS,

(2) ROOKS and (8) PAWNS.

It is vital that you have a clear and reliable notion of the value of each unit

under your command. The following table calculates each piece's value.

Pawn= 1 point

Bishop= 3 points

Queen= 9 points

By knowing the relative values of the pieces we can tell which captures

would be profitable. When a player obtains an edge in the material value

of the pieces, he is much more likely to win the game.

movement of the Chessmen

They can move and they can capture. A move is the transfer of a chess piece

from one square to an empty one. A capture is the removal of an enemy

piece from the board. A capture is optional except where the survival of the

enemy King is concerned - for details, see CHECK AND CHECKMATE.

Basic rules for the King

The King has limited power. He can move one square in any direction at

one time. The only exception is when a castling move is used. The King

can capture any enemy piece which stands adjacent to him. He cannot

occupy a square that has his own man on it or position himself next

to an opponents square, resulting in checkmate and losing the game.

Throughout the course of a game you must guard the safety of your King.

(1) Castling: Castling means making use of the Rook to protect the King.

Castling can be divided into long castling and short castling. Castling

should be completed in one step. See (Fig. 3a/b).

Knight= 3 points

Rook= 5 points

King = PRICELESS!
