Hello and welcome to chess the art of learning! Right now we will be learning about the chessboard and chess pieces.
=To start of we will be teaching you about the chess board. On the chess board there should be 34 sqaures. Every second square should be either black or white. When you play a game of chess there should always be a white square in the bottom right hand cornner. =

= = __**The Pieces**__ On the board there are six pieces and they are: The Pawn, the Knight, the Bishop, the Rook, the Queen and the King.

The Pawn is the most weakest piece, although when the pawn reaches the opposite end of the board it can be swaped for any other piece exept the King on your colour. The pawn can only move foward one space and attack diagonal, but it can also move up two squares on the first move (optional).

The Bishop is the third most strongest piece. The Bishop can only move diagonal and attack diagonal. Its advantange is that it can move as many squares as it wants in diagonal movment.

The Knight is the fourth most srongest piece on the board. The Knight can only move in an 'L' movement of three squares. The Knight can only attack in an 'L' movment.

The Rook is the second most strongest piece on the board as it can move as many squares as it wants in horizantal and vertical direction.The Rook and the Queen in a team are often called 'The Heavy Brigade'.

The Queen is the most strongest piece on the board as it can move in any direction and as many squares as it it wants.

The King is the most valuble piece on the board because once you take out the King it is chekmate.The king can move in any diretion, but it can only move one square at a time.
