How to play

Movements of chess pieces:

- The pawn moves forward one square or two squares on the first move of this piece. Hits diagonally one field forward.
- The king can move one square vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
- The queen can move in all directions.
- The rook moves any distance vertically or horizontally.
- The knight moves across the field two cells vertically and one horizontally or one cell vertically and two horizontally.
- The bishop moves any distance diagonally.

Two special moves in chess:

- Castling is a double move performed by a king and a rook that have never moved. The king will not be able to castle through the "beaten field" or being under the "check".
- En Passant - a move in which a pawn can beat an opponent's pawn if it jumps over a "beaten" square.

The object of the game is to checkmate the other king.
