Chess goal (What is Chess?)
A two-player game in which players take turns moving pieces and capturing opposing pieces, aiming to checkmate the opposing king.
Scene 1
Move pieces one turn at a time, alternating sides.
Pawns move forward, and knights jump in an L shape. First, check the feel of advancing the white pawn to the center.
Scene 2
Capture an Opposing Piece
In chess, captured pieces do not become reserve pieces. A pawn can capture only an opposing piece one square diagonally ahead.
Scene 3
Promote the Pawn
A special rule similar to promotion in shogi. In most cases, you promote to the strongest piece, the queen.
