En passant must be done immediately after an opposing pawn's starting 2 square move. If the pawn would have been able to capture the opposing pawn (that moved 2 squares) had the opposing pawn only moved 1 square for its first move, the pawn can capture the opposing pawn by moving diagonally as it would have for a normal capture, into the square that would have been occupied by the opposing pawn had the opposing pawn started its movement with a 1 square forward move. "En passant" is a special capture move that may be made by a pawn after the opposing pawn took their first move by moving 2 squares. Castling cannot move the king out of check, into check or through check. When there are no pieces between a player's king and rook and neither piece have taken a move yet this game, the king can move 2 squares towards the rook and the rook is placed on the opposite side of the king. "Castling" is a move that occurs between the king and the rook. If a pawn makes it to the far side of the board, it may be promoted to any piece (taking from pieces that were previously captured). If the king cannot make a move that would not put it into check, the game is a draw. When a move is made that would make the opponent's king vulnerable to capture and there is not legal move to avoid capture, "checkmate" is announced at which point the player who announced "checkmate" would win.Ī king cannot make a move that would put it into "check". When check is announced, the player whose king is vulnerable must spend their move to either move their king, move a piece to block the capture, or capture the piece that check was announced because of. When a player moves a piece in such a way that their opponent's king would be vulnerable to capture on the next move, that player announces "check". Pawns cannot capture pieces in front of them, instead they move diagonally one space to capture an opponent's piece (diagonal movements for pawns only occur when capturing). When a piece lands into a space occupied by the opponent's piece, the opponent's piece is captured and removed from the board. Pawns move diagonally only when they are capturing a piece. Pawn: Move one square forward or 1-2 squares forward if it is the pawn's first move. Rook: Move orthogonally any number of squares The Knight is the only piece that can move over other pieces Knight: Move in an L pattern (2 squares orthogonally then 1 square in a perpendicular direction to the first move or vice versa - 1 square orthogonally then 2 squares in a perpendicular direction to the first move). Queen: Move any number of squares in any one direction (orthogonal or diagonal)īishop: Move diagonally any number of squares King: Move one square in any direction (orthogonal or diagonal) the checkmate wins (1 point), who got checkmated loses (0 points), and the third player gets 1/2 points.
Players alternate turns, moving one piece at a time. Three players, everyone against everyone. If you'd like to setup for a physical game, reference the setup in a Chess room on PlayingCards.io. For PlayingCards.io, the pieces are already set up for you to pick a color and play.
In Chess, the goal is to capture your opponent's king through the movements of your other pieces.
