How to play Master chess
Controls Guide (Typical Chess Game Controls):
- Mouse (PC) or Touchscreen (Mobile): Chess games typically use point-and-click controls. You use the mouse to select and move pieces on a computer, or tap and drag pieces on a touchscreen device.
- Keyboard Shortcuts (PC): Some online chess games may have keyboard shortcuts for specific actions, such as undoing a move or accessing settings. These shortcuts are often explained within the game.
How to Play:
Objective: The main goal in chess is to checkmate your opponent's king. This means putting the king in a position where it cannot escape capture.
Setup: The game starts with each player having 16 pieces arranged on an 8x8 chessboard. The pieces include pawns, rooks, knights, bishops, a queen, and a king.
Piece Movement:
- Pawns move forward but capture diagonally.
- Rooks move horizontally or vertically.
- Knights have an L-shaped move.
- Bishops move diagonally.
- Queens can move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
- Kings move one square in any direction.
Special Moves:
- Castling: A special move involving the king and one of the rooks.
- En passant: A special pawn capture.
- Pawn promotion: When a pawn reaches the eighth rank, it can be promoted to any other piece (except a king).
Turns: Players take turns making one move at a time.
Check and Checkmate: If a king is under direct attack, it is in check. If there is no way to remove the threat, it's checkmate, and the game ends.
