How to Play Chess?
Chess is a complex board game that only takes a few minutes to learn but one that many say could take a lifetime to master. The goal is to place your opponent's king in a situation known as checkmate. This means they cannot make a move without their king being captured by one of your pieces. When a king is placed in checkmate, the game ends.
Each piece, ranging from pawns to the king, moves in specific ways across the board. Many versions of the classic game that you’ll find here at Agame will let you choose to play as either the light pieces or the darker pieces before you make your first move. Good luck!
