1. Set Up the Board: Place the board between the two players so that the bottom right corner Square is a light-colored Square (usually white). Place the pieces in the same order on each side of the board, with the two rooks in the corners, the two Knights next to them, the two bishops next to them, the queen on her own color (white queen on the white Square, black queen on The BlackSquare), and the king on the remaining Square.
2. Start the Game: White moves first. Players take Turns moving one piece at a time, except for the knight, which can Jump over other pieces.
3. Win the Game: The Goal of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king. This is done by trapPing the king so that it cannot move without being captured. If a player cannot make any legal moves, they lose the game.
4. End the Game: The game can end in a draw if neither player can checkmate the other. It can also end in a stalemate if the player to move has no legal moves but is not in check.
