Game Mechanics

The document discusses the basic rules and mechanics of playing chess. It explains that each player takes turns moving one piece per turn according to that piece's allowed movements, with the goal of putting the opponent in "checkmate" where their king is threatened with capture on the next turn and they are unable to block or escape the threat. It describes how pieces capture by replacing an opponent's piece on a square it occupies, and that checkmate, resignation, or draws can end a game in different ways.

Chess Mechanics:

In chess, each player takes turns to make a single move. Players cannot choose to skip a
turn - they must move a piece. Each chess piece moves in a specific way, and must be
moved according to its legal movement.

Except for the knight, which may jump over pieces, pieces cannot move through pieces
of either colour without either stopping (in the same of a piece of the same colour) or
capturing them (in the case of a piece of the opposite colour).

How to capture pieces

If a piece lands on a space with an opponent’s piece, that piece is captured and removed
from the board. Pieces cannot be placed on the same square as a piece of the same
colour. When a piece captures an opponent’s piece, it must finish its current move action
and end the player’s turn.
What is check and checkmate?

When a piece moves in a way that would allow a player to capture the opponent’s king on
their next turn, the attacking player typically announces “check”.

The player placed into check must move their king or move another piece to stop the
attack on their next turn - either by blocking the move or capturing the attacking piece.

If a player creates a situation where their opponent cannot stop their king from being
captured on the next turn, the attacking player announces “checkmate” and immediately
wins the game. The king is never captured - a game of chess is won when a successful
checkmate is announced.

A player can also choose to resign, granting their opponent the victory. Matches can also
end in an agreed draw - for example, as the result of stalemate leaving a player without
any legal moves, or if no player can win using available legal moves, a situation known
as a “dead position”. One example of a dead position is when both players are left with
their king as their only remaining piece on the board.

Draws can also occur as the result of advanced rules typically used in professional
tournaments, including identical board positions occurring three or five times - rules
known respectively as threefold repetition and fivefold repetition - or no captures or
pawn moves taking place within the last 50 or 75 moves. The exact rules used can
depend on the tournament and agreement between the players.
