Now you are armed with the most basic rules of chess. Several other rules exist that you might want to look up if you plan on becoming a serious chess player. These include "castling," rules on touching pieces, move repetition rules, and imposing time lengths. Without these rules you will be able to play full games of chess, but they might enrich your experience if you look them up. This guide was designed for the novice, so we will not discuss them here.
You know how the pieces move, but choosing the right move might take a lifetime to master, as the cliché states well. No matter how good you are, from the start, however, chess is an extremely fun and exciting game. With the rules you have learned by simply reading this page you can now play a game you might once have thought too complicated for you to enjoy. So hit the boards, the internet, or perhaps do some more research on strategy and other aspects of the game. Happy chessing!
