Throughout its long history, it has earned noticeable acknowledgement and is considered to be the 'king' of board games. Nowadays, chess stills attracts people from all over the world, regardless of their age. Chess is fascinating because it allows players to put their technique, experience and inspiration into rivalry. 
Your goal is to trap the enemy King - it's that simple...The chessboard is a 8x8 board with alternating black and white squares; everybody is sure to have seen one. The chess pieces are 32 in total; 16 white pieces and their 16 black counterparts. One player owns the white pieces (we call this player WHITE) and his opponent (the BLACK) gets the black ones. The 16 pieces are : the King, the Queen, two Rooks, two Bishops, two Knights and eight Pawns. When the game starts these pieces are placed in their initial positions, which are predefined. This initial arrangement is as follows : each player has his own pieces positioned along the two ranks of the board that are closest to him. All 8 pawns are placed on the innermost rank of the two. The rest of the pieces are placed in the outermost rank in the following order : Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Rook. This order is from left to right for WHITE and from right to left for BLACK, so that same pieces are opposed on each file of the board. To facilitate descriptions of chess positions It is known as 'algebraic chess notation' (there is also the descriptive notation, which is quite obsolete). It is particularly easy to learn and helps us easily identify squares and pieces on the board. It works like this : viewing from WHITE's perspective, the leftmost file is named 'a', the next one is named 'b' and so on until we reach the rightmost file, which is file 'h'. Moreover, the rank that is closest to WHITE is 'rank 1', or the first rank. Next comes 'rank 2' (the second rank) and so on until we get to the eighth rank, which is the rank closest to BLACK. Now that we have appropriately named the ranks and the files we may identify a square by looking up the rank and the file to which it belongs. Thus, still viewing from WHITE's side, the bottom left square is the square 'a1', since it belongs to file a and to the first rank. Its adjacent squares are 'b1' on the right and 'a2' just above it. So we may repeat the initial position using chess notation :
Note that the chessboard should be so placed that the a1 square is black. To read the next article in this series, Basic Chess Moves, click here...
