Chess Fundamentals
Chess is a game of strategy and tactics played on an 8x8 board. Each piece type has unique movement rules. The goal is to checkmate the opponent's king — trapping it with no escape.
Beginner Tips
- Control the center of the board early
- Develop your pieces (knights and bishops) before moving pawns
- Castle early for king safety
- Think about your opponent's threats before making your move
