Chapter 2. How to play

Moving your pieces, capture your opponent's pieces until your opponent's king is under attack and they have no move to stop the attack - called “checkmate”.

If it appears you cannot win, you can play for a draw (tie). Move your pieces until you have no legal moves left and your king is not under attack - called “stalemate”. Other forms of draws can be available depending upon the chess rules being followed for the game.
