row:</em> rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, rook. <em>Second row:</em> pawns. </div></div></div> <p>To start the game, White's pieces are placed on the first rank in the following order, from left to right: rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, rook. Pawns are placed on each square of the second rank. Black's position mirrors White's, with equivalent pieces on every file. The board is oriented so that the right-hand corner nearest each player is a light square; as a result the white queen always starts on a light square, while the black queen starts on a dark square. This may be remembered by the phrases "light on the right" and "queen on her own color". </p><p>In formal competition, the piece colors for every matchup are allocated to players by the organizers. In informal games, colors are decided either by mutual agreement, or randomly, for example by a coin toss, or by one player concealing a white pawn in one hand and a black pawn in the other and having the opponent choose. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Movement">Movement</h3></div> <p>White moves first, after which players alternate turns, moving one piece per turn (except for <a href="/wiki/Castling" title="Castling">castling</a>, when two pieces are moved). A piece is moved to either an unoccupied square or one occupied by an opponent's piece, which is captured and removed from play. With the sole exception of <i><a href="/wiki/En_passant" title="En passant">en passant</a></i>, all pieces capture by moving to the square that the opponent's piece occupies. Moving is compulsory; a player may not skip a turn, even when <a href="/wiki/Zugzwang" title="Zugzwang">having to move is detrimental</a>. </p><p>Each piece has its own way of moving. In the diagrams, crosses mark the squares to which the piece can move if there are no intervening piece(s) of either color (except the knight, which leaps over any intervening pieces). All pieces except the pawn can capture an enemy piece if it is on a square to which they could move if the square were unoccupied. Pieces are generally not permitted to move through squares occupied by pieces of either color, except for the knight and during castling. </p> <style

There is also a special move called <em><a href="#Castling">castling</a></em> that involves moving the king and a rook. The king is the most valuable piece—attacks on the king must be immediately countered, and if this is impossible, the game is immediately lost (see <a href="#Check_and_checkmate">Check and checkmate</a> below).</li> <li>A <a href="/wiki/Rook_(chess)" title="Rook (chess)">rook</a> can move any number of squares along a rank or file, but cannot leap over other pieces. Along with the king, a rook is involved during the king's castling move.</li> <li>A <a href="/wiki/Bishop_(chess)" title="Bishop (chess)">bishop</a> can move any number of squares diagonally, but cannot leap over other pieces.</li> <li>A <a href="/wiki/Queen_(chess)" title="Queen (chess)">queen</a> combines the power of a rook and bishop and can move any number of squares along a rank, file, or diagonal, but cannot leap over other pieces.</li> <li>A <a href="/wiki/Knight_(chess)" title="Knight (chess)">knight</a> moves to any of the closest squares that are not on the same rank, file, or diagonal. (Thus the move forms an "L"-shape: two squares vertically and one square horizontally, or two squares horizontally and one square vertically.) The knight is the only piece that can leap over other pieces.</li> <li>A <a href="/wiki/Pawn_(chess)" title="Pawn (chess)">pawn</a> can move forward to the unoccupied square immediately in front of it on the same file, or on its first move it can advance two squares along the same file, provided both squares are unoccupied (black dots in the diagram). A pawn can capture an opponent's piece on a square diagonally in front of it by moving to that square (black crosses). It can<em>not</em> capture a piece while advancing along the same file, nor can it move to either square diagonally in front without capturing. A pawn has two special moves: the <i><a href="#En_passant">en passant</a></i> capture and <a href="#Promotion">promotion</a>.</li></ul> <div style="clear:left;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Check_and_checkmate">Check and checkmate</h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Check_(chess)" title="Check (chess)">Check</a> and <a href="/wiki/Checkmate" title="Checkmate">Checkmate</a></div> <p>When a king is under immediate attack, it is said to be <i>in <a href="/wiki/Check_(chess)" title="Check (chess)">check</a></i>.

Castling consists of moving the king two squares toward a rook of the same color on the same rank, and then placing the rook on the square that the king crossed. </p><p>Castling is permissible if the following conditions are met:<sup id="cite_ref-FideLawsOfChess_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FideLawsOfChess-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>Neither the king nor the rook has previously moved during the game.</li> <li>There are no pieces between the king and the rook.</li> <li>The king is not in <a href="#Check">check</a> and does not pass through or finish on a square attacked by an enemy piece.</li></ul> <p>Castling is still permitted if the rook is under attack, or if the rook crosses an attacked square. </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="En_passant"><i>En passant</i></h4></div> <p><span class="anchor" id="en_passant"></span> </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/En_passant" title="En passant">En passant</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:ChessPawnSpecialMoves.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/ChessPawnSpecialMoves.gif" decoding="async" width="206" height="210" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="206" data-file-height="210" /></a><figcaption>Examples of pawn moves: <br />(<em>left</em>) <a href="/wiki/Promotion_(chess)" title="Promotion (chess)">promotion</a>; (<em>right</em>) <i><a href="/wiki/En_passant" title="En passant">en passant</a></i></figcaption></figure> <p>When a pawn makes a two-step advance from its starting position and there is an opponent's pawn on a square next to the destination square on an adjacent file, then the opponent's pawn can capture it <i>en passant</i> ("in passing"), moving to the square the pawn passed over. This can be done only on the turn immediately following the enemy pawn's two-square advance; otherwise, the right to do so is forfeited. For example, in the animated diagram, the black pawn advances two squares from g7 to g5, and the white pawn on f5 can take it <i>en passant</i> on g6 (but only immediately after the black pawn's advance). </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Promotion">Promotion</h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Promotion_(chess)" title="Promotion (chess)">Promotion</a></div> <p>When a pawn advances to its eighth <a href="/wiki/Rank_(chess)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rank (chess)">rank</a>, as part of the move, it is <em>promoted</em> and must be exchanged for the player's choice of queen, rook, bishop, or knight of the same color.

In the <a href="#En_passant">animated diagram</a>, the pawn on c7 can be advanced to the eighth rank and be promoted. There is no restriction on the piece promoted to, so it is possible to have more pieces of the same type than at the start of the game (e.g., two or more queens). If the required piece is not available (e.g. a second queen) an inverted rook is sometimes used as a substitute, but this is not recognized in FIDE-sanctioned games. </p> <div style="clear:left;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="End_of_the_game">End of the game</h3></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Win">Win</h4></div> <p>A game can be won in the following ways: </p> <ul><li><i><a href="/wiki/Checkmate" title="Checkmate">Checkmate</a>:</i> The opposing king is in check and the opponent has no legal move.

For example, if only the kings are on the board, all other pieces having been captured, checkmate is impossible, and the game is drawn by this rule. On the other hand, if both players still have a knight, there is a highly unlikely yet theoretical possibility of checkmate, so this rule does not apply. The dead position rule supersedes the previous rule which referred to "insufficient material", extending it to include other positions where checkmate is impossible, such as blocked <a href="/wiki/Chess_endgame#King_and_pawn_endings" title="Chess endgame">pawn endings</a> where the pawns cannot be attacked.</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Draw_by_agreement" title="Draw by agreement">Draw by agreement</a>:</i> In tournament chess, draws are most commonly reached by mutual agreement between the players. The correct procedure is to verbally offer the draw, make a move, then start the opponent's clock. Traditionally, players have been allowed to agree to a draw at any point in the game, occasionally even without playing a move. More recently efforts have been made to discourage short draws, for example by forbidding draw offers before move thirty.</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Threefold_repetition" title="Threefold repetition">Threefold repetition</a>:</i> This most commonly occurs when neither side is able to avoid repeating moves without incurring a disadvantage. In this situation, either player can claim a draw; this requires the players to keep a valid written record of the game so that the claim can be verified by the arbiter if challenged. The three occurrences of the position need not occur on consecutive moves for a claim to be valid. The addition of the <a href="/wiki/Fivefold_repetition" class="mw-redirect" title="Fivefold repetition">fivefold repetition rule</a> in 2014 requires the arbiter to intervene immediately and declare the game a draw after five occurrences of the same position, consecutive or otherwise, without requiring a claim by either player. FIDE rules make no mention of <a href="/wiki/Perpetual_check" title="Perpetual check">perpetual check</a>; this is merely a specific type of draw by threefold repetition.</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Fifty-move_rule" title="Fifty-move rule">Fifty-move rule</a>:</i> If during the previous 50 moves no pawn has been moved and no capture has been made, either player can claim a draw. The addition of the <a href="/wiki/Seventy-five-move_rule" class="mw-redirect" title="Seventy-five-move rule">seventy-five-move rule</a> in 2014 requires the arbiter to intervene and immediately declare the game drawn after 75 moves without a pawn move or capture, without requiring a claim by either player. There are several known endgames where it is possible to force a mate but it requires more than 50 moves before a pawn move or capture is made; examples include some endgames with <a href="/wiki/Two_knights_endgame" title="Two knights endgame">two knights against a pawn</a> and some <a href="/wiki/Pawnless_chess_endgame" title="Pawnless chess endgame">pawnless endgames</a> such as queen against two bishops. Historically, FIDE has sometimes revised the fifty-move rule to make exceptions for these endgames, but these have since been repealed. Some <a href="/wiki/Correspondence_chess" title="Correspondence chess">correspondence chess</a> organizations do not enforce the fifty-move rule.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a

The usual format is </p> <dl><dd><em>initial of the piece moved</em> – <em>file of destination square</em> – <em>rank of destination square</em></dd></dl> <p>The pieces are identified by their initials. In English, these are <em>K</em> (king), <em>Q</em> (queen), <em>R</em> (rook), <em>B</em> (bishop), and <em>N</em> (knight; N is used to avoid confusion with king). For example, <b>Qg5</b> means "queen moves to the g-file, 5th rank" (that is, to the square g5). Different initials may be used for other languages. In chess literature, <a href="/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess)#Naming_the_pieces" title="Algebraic notation (chess)">figurine algebraic notation (FAN)</a> is frequently used to aid understanding independent of language. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Frame"><a href="/wiki/File:SCD_algebraic_notation.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/SCD_algebraic_notation.svg/242px-SCD_algebraic_notation.svg.png" decoding="async" width="242" height="246" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/SCD_algebraic_notation.svg/363px-SCD_algebraic_notation.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/SCD_algebraic_notation.svg/484px-SCD_algebraic_notation.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="242" data-file-height="246" /></a><figcaption>Square names in <a href="/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess)" title="Algebraic notation (chess)">algebraic chess notation</a></figcaption></figure> <p>To resolve ambiguities, an additional letter or number is added to indicate the file or rank from which the piece moved (e.g. <b>Ngf3</b> means "knight from the g-file moves to the square f3"; <b>R1e2</b> means "rook on the first rank moves to e2").

Ranks may be omitted if unambiguous, for example, <b>exd</b> (pawn on the e-file captures a piece somewhere on the d-file). A minority of publications use "<b>:</b>" to indicate a capture, and some omit the capture symbol altogether. In its most abbreviated form, <b>exd5</b> may be rendered simply as <b>ed</b>.

For a large number of players, the <a href="/wiki/Swiss_system_tournament" class="mw-redirect" title="Swiss system tournament">Swiss system</a> may be used, in which each player is paired against an opponent who has the same (or as similar as possible) score in each round.

Variations such as "football scoring" (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw) may be used by tournament organizers, but ratings are always calculated on the basis of standard scoring. A player's score <a href="/wiki/Chess_scoring" title="Chess scoring">may be reported</a> as total score out of games played (e.g. 5½/8), points for versus points against (e.g. 5½–2½), or by number of wins, losses and draws (e.g. +4−1=3). </p><p>The term "match" refers not to an individual game, but to either a series of games between two players, or a team competition in which each player of one team plays one game against a player of the other team. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Governance">Governance</h3></div> <p>Chess's international governing body is usually known by its French acronym <a href="/wiki/FIDE" title="FIDE">FIDE</a> (pronounced FEE-day) (<a href="/wiki/French_language" title="French language">French</a>: Fédération internationale des échecs), or International Chess Federation.

There is no clear line between the opening and the middlegame, but typically the middlegame will start when most pieces have been developed. (Similarly, there is no clear transition from the middlegame to the endgame; see <a href="/wiki/Chess_endgame#The_start_of_the_endgame" title="Chess endgame">start of the endgame</a>.) Because the opening theory has ended, players have to form plans based on the features of the position, and at the same time take into account the tactical possibilities of the position.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The middlegame is the phase in which most <a href="/wiki/Combination_(chess)" title="Combination (chess)">combinations</a> occur. Combinations are a series of tactical moves executed to achieve some gain. Middlegame combinations are often connected with an attack against the opponent's king. Some typical patterns have their own names; for example, the <a href="/wiki/Boden%27s_Mate" title="Boden's Mate">Boden's Mate</a> or the <a href="/wiki/Lasker_-_Bauer,_Amsterdam,_1889" class="mw-redirect" title="Lasker - Bauer, Amsterdam, 1889">Lasker–Bauer</a> combination.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Specific plans or strategic themes will often arise from particular groups of openings that result in a specific type of pawn structure. An example is the <dfn><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_chess#minority_attack" title="Glossary of chess"><span title="See entry at: Glossary of chess § minority attack" style="color:inherit;" class="glossary-link">minority attack</span></a></dfn>, which is the attack of queenside pawns against an opponent who has more pawns on the queenside. The study of openings is therefore connected to the preparation of plans that are typical of the resulting middlegames.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Another important strategic question in the middlegame is whether and how to reduce material and transition into an endgame (i.e. <dfn><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_chess#simplification" title="Glossary of chess"><span title="See entry at: Glossary of chess § simplification" style="color:inherit;" class="glossary-link">simplify</span></a></dfn>). Minor material advantages can generally be transformed into victory only in an endgame, and therefore the stronger side must choose an appropriate way to achieve an ending. Not every reduction of material is good for this purpose; for example, if one side keeps a light-squared bishop and the opponent has a dark-squared one, the transformation into a <a href="/wiki/Chess_endgame#Bishop_and_pawn_endings" title="Chess endgame">bishops and pawns</a> ending is usually advantageous for the weaker side only, because an endgame with <a href="/wiki/Opposite-colored_bishops_endgame" title="Opposite-colored bishops endgame">bishops on opposite colors</a> is likely to be a draw, even with an advantage of a pawn, or sometimes even with a two-pawn advantage.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Tactics">Tactics</h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Chess_tactics" class="mw-redirect" title="Chess tactics">Chess tactics</a></div> <p>In chess, tactics in general concentrate on short-term actions – so short-term that they can be calculated in advance by a human player or a computer.

<p>Chess strategy is concerned with the evaluation of chess positions and with setting up goals and long-term plans for future play. During the evaluation, players must take into account numerous factors such as the value of the pieces on the board, control of the center and centralization, the <a href="/wiki/Pawn_structure" title="Pawn structure">pawn structure</a>, king safety, and the control of <a href="/wiki/Key_square" title="Key square">key squares</a> or groups of squares (for example, diagonals, open files, and dark or light squares). </p><p>The most basic step in evaluating a position is to count the <a href="/wiki/Chess_piece_relative_value" title="Chess piece relative value">total value of pieces</a> of both sides.<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The point values used for this purpose are based on experience; usually, pawns are considered worth one point, knights and bishops about three points each, rooks about five points (the value difference between a rook and a bishop or knight being known as <a href="/wiki/The_exchange_(chess)" title="The exchange (chess)">the exchange</a>), and queens about nine points. The king is more valuable than all of the other pieces combined, since its checkmate loses the game. But in practical terms, in the endgame, the king as a fighting piece is generally more powerful than a bishop or knight but less powerful than a rook.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These basic values are then modified by other factors like position of the piece (e.g. advanced pawns are usually more valuable than those on their initial squares), coordination between pieces (e.g. a pair of bishops usually coordinate better than a bishop and a knight), or the type of position (e.g. knights are generally better in <dfn><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_chess#closed_game" title="Glossary of chess"><span title="See entry at: Glossary of chess § closed game" style="color:inherit;" class="glossary-link">closed positions</span></a></dfn> with many pawns while bishops are more powerful in <dfn><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_chess#open_game" title="Glossary of chess"><span title="See entry at: Glossary of chess § open game" style="color:inherit;" class="glossary-link">open positions</span></a></dfn>).<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Another important factor in the evaluation of chess positions is <em><a href="/wiki/Pawn_structure" title="Pawn structure">pawn structure</a></em> (sometimes known as the <em>pawn skeleton</em>): the configuration of pawns on the chessboard.<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Since pawns are the least mobile of the pieces, pawn structure is relatively static and largely determines the strategic nature of the position.

The ability to memorize does not alone account for chess-playing skill, since masters and novices, when faced with random arrangements of chess pieces, had equivalent recall (about six positions in each case). Rather, it is the ability to recognize patterns, which are then memorized, which distinguished the skilled players from the novices.
