Learn how to play chess in just 3 easy steps:

For ages 4 and up. 2 players minimum and maximum.

1.First of all I am going to tell you wich piece can go how many steps and

how they move. The ponds could move 1 step forward each turn but on

the first turn of each of the ponds can move 2 steps but ONLY if you want. The castles can move horizontaly or verticaly 8The horses could move like a letter "L" and the letter L c> steps maximum.

direction you want,but the L has to be 3 steps in the direction you want

and then go 1 step left or right . The bishops could go diagonaly and

8 steps maximum.The queen can move in any direction and how many

steps you want it to go. The king could move 1 step in any direction

2.Step two. Now I am going to tell you how the chess pieces can attack.

The ponds can attack diagonaly 1 step butcan not attack backwards. The

castles can attack vert. or hor..Its the same thing with the horses,bishops,

queen and king except in different ways.

3.This is the last step and now I am going to tell you how to place the chess pieces. you don't have to skip a space to place your chess pieces. You just

need two lines to place both player's chess pieces. In front you will have

all your ponds fit in the front row. Then you put your castles on the two

corners of the back row. Then you put your two horses beside (left for

right side and right for left side)your two castles then you put your two

bishops beside your two horses and finally your queen and king on any

side you want beside your two bishops.

Your goal is to kill your opponents' king before he kills yours.If you or your opponent

kills the king but that player still has other chess pieces remaining ,the other player still

wins.Whoever kills a players' king, wins.

This is a good strategie for chess :

1.You could put all your ponds in a zig zag so if your opponent's chess piece

kills one of your ponds you could kill him back.
