How to play

The basics in 4 steps

  1. 1

    Each side has 16 pieces, and each type moves differently.

  2. 2

    Capture by moving onto an opponent's piece.

  3. 3

    Put the enemy king in check — under attack — and they must get out of it.

  4. 4

    Checkmate (check with no escape) wins.

That's the gist — the full rules are in the box.
