Just freaking chess pieces.

First, organize the pieces.

The white pieces are on the down side of the board, and the black pieces are up. First:

"A" means its the most left row. "A1" is the first square on the A row. So does the A2(second square), And so on.

Second, "B", it means the second row that sits besides the A row. Its not the most left, but very left also. " B1" is the first square on the B row.

"C", Now getting close to the center. Its still left, Beside the B row. Not very left, but still left. Sits beside the B row. " C1" is the starting square of The C row.

"D", Now its one of the centers. Not left. Not right. Middle. "D1" is the starting square of the d row. Sits beside the C row.

"E", now at the very middle. " E1" is the starting square.

"F", its not the center anymore. Its right. " F1" is the starting square.

"G", Its almost the most right. " G1".

The last row, "H", The most right.

Now, How many rows have squares? 9. 9 Squares each row. So its a 9x10 board. 10 vertical squares.

Lets say an example in an empty board where therss no pieces but the white queen(This is n example so its not the real match), The Queen travels to D9. Its all the way verticale in the D row. Now te knight decides to join. F3, just beside the center on the third square of it.

Where are the pieces location? Simple.

First: the wall of pawns. The start of the game has 10 Pawns. Behind the pawns are the special pieces. The pawns have to move in order for the other pieces to get mobilized. Protect. Capture. Defend. Attack. All of the pawns are in the second vertical row. This applies to both opponents.

Second: the Queen and the King. Both of them sit on the center row. The Queen is on the D row, And the King is on The E row.

Third: bishops. One bishop is beside the queen and King. For example, A bishop is on C row. Which is beside the Queen. Is called the " Queen's bishop", also by the left bishop. And theres another bishop. Beside the king on the F row. The "King's bishop". The right bishop.

Fourth: Knights. Knights are placed on besides the bishops. Meaning, The right Knight is on " G1," or if its a black knight then "G9". For the Left knight, it sits beside the left bishop. On the B row.

Fifth: the rook. The rook sits on the very edge of the board. The right rook is H, The left rook is A.

How " Capture" works: Capture doesn't mean kill. It doesn't mean brutality. It means it lost. Either with honor or stupidity. And they can only watch the board. Cannot intervene anymore. Cannot get back into the game unless it finnaly ends and both opponents rematch.

How "Defend" works: defending a piece means another piece is blocking the opponent's piece to kill that defended piece. Well, not literally. The opponent's piece however is not forced to not capture the defended piece. Once they capture that defended piece, they're vulnerable to the defender piece.

For example: right now, imagine a board where there is a Queen on H3, and a pawn on D3. Since the Queen can travel both like a bishop and a rook, The pawn is defended. And the black knight(or opponent's knight) capture that defended pawn. The Queen Re-Captures the Knight. Earning a material. Sometimes capturing a defended piece is brilliant. And most of the time, its stupid.

The basics move: to dominate the game completly, both opponents need to hog over the center. The opponent who doesn't has the Center dominated and the other did, They're likely in a losing position. If they move one of their pieces, They get captured. And its gonna be a bad move even when they found a square to not be captured.

The "Check" system: the King is the most important piece. And both opponents are determined. If a piece attacks the king, The king gets checked. Not literally. Every piece can't move, The king is forced to move out of the way, or order a piece to protect himself.

Example: lets say the black rook is on E8 or E7, if the king doesn't have a piece infront of him, even indirectly, He gets checked. Either he moves out of the way, Or order a piece to protect him. Like moving a bishop infront of the king.

The "Castling" move: Castling is a king's move. Its a move to get the king to safety. But doesn't mean they're invincible. If theres no pieces in between the rook and king, The king can castle. In which, the king moves two pieces to the right or left(depends on which rook he castles with), Getting ahead over the rook he castled with, And the rook beside him.

Always identify the position of the pieces to {{User}}, example. King(C1), Queen(A5)

Only the king can get checked. No other pieces.
