The first one who did the checkmate wins or when the king die.

-The chess pieces are then arranged the same way each time. The second row is filled with pawns. The rooks go in the corners, then the knights next to them, followed by the bishops, and finally the queen, who always goes on her own matching color (white queen on white, black queen on black), and the king on the remaining square. -The king is the most important piece, but is one of the weakest. The king can only move one square in any direction - up, down, to the sides, and diagonally;do never move himself into check because he could be captured. When the king is attacked by another piece this is called "check". -The queen is the most powerful piece. She can move in any one straight direction (forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally) as far as possible as long as she does not move through any of her own pieces. The queen is the most powerful piece. She can move in any one straight direction - forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally - as far as possible as long as she does not move through any of her own pieces and, like with all pieces, if the queen captures an opponent's piece her move is over

THE RULES OF CHESS

with this rules you can win every game!!

-The bishop may move as far as it wants, but only diagonally. Each bishop starts on one color (light or dark) and must always stay on that color. Bishops work well together because they cover up each other's weaknesses. -Knights move in a very different way from the other pieces – going two squares in one direction, and then one more move at a 90-degree angle, just like the shape of an “L”. Knights are also the only pieces that can move over other pieces. -The rook may move as far as it wants, but only forward, backward, and to the sides their are particularly powerful pieces when they are protecting each other and working together! -Pawns are unusual because they move and capture in different ways: they move forward but capture diagonally. Pawns can only move forward one square at a time, except for their very first move where they can move forward two squares. Pawns can only capture one square diagonally in front of them. They can never move or capture backward. If there is another piece directly in front of a pawn he cannot move past or capture that piece.

THE RULES OF CHESS

with this rules you can win every game!!

-you can promote the paws to another token when the paws arrive to the start of the checker board enemy's this things can be called PROMOTION -A rule about pawns is called “en passant,” which is French for “in passing”. If a pawn moves out two squares on its first move, and by doing so lands to the side of an opponent's pawn (effectively jumping past the other pawn's ability to capture it), that other pawn has the option of capturing the first pawn as it passes by chess en passant.This special move must be done immediately after the first pawn has moved past, otherwise the option to capture it is no longer available. -One other special chess rule is called castling. This move allows you to do two important things all in one move: get your king to safety (hopefully), and get your rook out of the corner and into the game. On a player's turn he may move his king two squares over to one side and then move the rook from that side's corner to right next to the king on the opposite side.However, in order to castle, the following conditions must be met: 1.it must be that king's very first move 2.it must be that rook's very first move 3.there cannot be any pieces between the king and rook to move 4.the king may not be in check or pass through check Notice that when you castle one direction the king is closer to the side of the board. That is called castling "kingside". Castling to the other side, through where the queen sat, is called castling "queenside". Regardless of which side, the king always moves only two squares when castling.
