RULES:
The object of the game is to checkmate the other king. Checkmate happens when the king is in a position to be captured, in check, and cannot escape from capture.
At the beginning of the game the chessboard is laid out so that each player is sitting across from the other and has the white or lighter colored square in the bottom right-hand side. The chess pieces are then arranged the same way each time. The second row is filled with pawns. The first row should be set up as follows going left to right: Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Rook. You’ve set it up correctly if your queen is on the same colored square as the color of the piece.
The player with the white pieces always moves first. A turn consists of moving 1 piece 1 time. Players alternate turns until the end of the game.
Spaces may not be shared by pieces. Pieces cannot move through or over any other piece. Opponents’ pieces can be captured by correctly moving your piece to the square of an opponent’s piece. When a piece is captured, it is eliminated and removed from the board. Each of the 6 different kinds of pieces has a unique way of moving:
Pawns move one square forward (toward your opponents side of the board) at a time, unless it is the first time it is moved during the game, in which case it may be moved up to 2 squares forward. Pawns can only capture pieces one diagonal square in front of them, and cannot capture pieces directly in front of them, but is instead unable to move forward. If a pawn reaches the other side of the board, it can be changed into any other type of piece. This is called a promotion.
Rooks can move any number of squares side to side, or back and forth. Rooks cannot move diagonally. Rooks cannot jump pieces but instead capture the first enemy piece they move into.
Knights move in the shape of an “L”, moving 2 squares in one direction, except diagonal, then one more square at a 90 degree angle. The knight jumps over any pieces in the way, capturing any opponent piece in its final move position.
Bishops can move any number of squares diagonally. They capture the first enemy piece they move into.
The Queen can move any number of squares in any direction. The queen captures the first enemy piece she moves into.
The King can only move one square at a time in any direction. The King can never move himself into “Check”.
Whenever a move directly results in the opponent’s king being threatened, (meaning if action is not taken, the next turn the King would be captured) the attacking player must say “Check”. The opponent must then use their turn to protect the king either by moving the king out of check, moving a different piece to block the path of the attacker, or by capturing the piece that threatens the king.
If a move directly results in the opponent’s king being threatened, and there is no move to protect the king, the attacking player declares “checkmate,” the game is over, and he wins. A draw, or stalemate, occurs when the king is not in check and the player cannot legally move any of his pieces or there is any other situation where there is an impossibility of checkmate.
There are a couple other types of unique moves. The first is castling: On a player’s turn he may move his king two squares over to one side and then move the rook from that side’s corner to right next to the king on the opposite side. However, in order to castle, the following conditions must be met: it must be that king’s very first move, it must be that rook’s very first move, there cannot be any pieces between the king and rook, and the king may not…
The rules are the same as regualr chess except for no changes.

I don't get it
Wait a second, this is not a refresher of those rules?
Dude…slow down
You speak way faster than in your new videos.
İm confused with the king and queen
If a pawn reaches the last rank it can promote to any pieces, except a king.
Pawns move one square forward, unless it is the first time it has moved during the game, in which case it can be moved up to two squares forward. Pawns can only attack diagonally. They cannot attack forward, but instead are unable to move forward.
Too much to remember 😅
Who is here because they were humiliated by a 12 year old indian kid
Today I bought a chess set for the first time in my life. I got interested in chess a while ago, and had been collecting money to buy myself a chess set since that time. I went to a shop that my parents and siblings often go to. It's a lace and toys shop.
When I asked him to show me the chess set from the inside, he refused to do so. But since i knew the shopkeeper, I bought the chess set. I asked him if it's plastic or wood and he said that it's plastic.
When I got home and opened it, it was made of cardboard; neither plastic nor wood. I went to return it and he isn't returning my money that took me so much time to collect. I went with my elder sister, my mother. He isn't returning it. It took me months to collect the money for chess. Now he's even lying about telling me that he won't exchange or return it.
My mother is angry at me, she isn't talking to me. My sister keeps blaming me. My mother cursed at me, called me selfish. I just wanted to buy chess

How to check????
En passant:pawn to move two squares then the other pawn to move 1 square diagonally to capture.
Castling:King to be protected against Kingside or Queenside.
King not in check:King must not be in check
I'm just dumb at this point all my friends can play chess
Who’s here because of Bluey and you want to teach your kids how to play chess someday? Or if you have absolutely no idea how to play because no one played throughout your childhood?
