ok so the game is all about check mateing your enemy  king

if there check mate you king you lose if you check mate there king you win

what is checkmate?; checkmate is when your king can not move  anywhere. without  getting taken out then the game ends

first the pawn you have 8 of them the pawn can move forward  1 space but when the pawn has not moved yet it can go 2 space forward  it can attack by diagonal  but only one space   diagonal if it gets to the end of the  walls then it can be turn in to a queen  bishop rook or Knight 

next the rook the rook  it can go as many spaces as it want but only  straight left right up or down it can do some thing it is calls castleing when the rook is next to the king there can swap place but only your rook and King

next bishop it can go only diagonal and as many spaces as it wants but it can only go diagonal
