Objectiveto capture, most importantly, the opponent’s
king, or his pieces as the game goes on to weaker his offense and defense
to protect own pieces, first the king, then the next valuable pieces for your strategy, which usually includes the queen…
pawns are often used as sacrifice and are seen of low-value but it maybe life-saving after it reaches the opposite end of the board where it can be exchanged with any piece of the same color, except for the king

Rules
White starts the game
Then black makes the move
From then on, players alternate turns until game ends
End of the Game
>when a king is captured or
>when a player resigns from the game or
>when the game is a draw
Game is a Draw
>by mutual consent
>because of inadequate forces
>50-move law
>repetition
>perpetual check
MUTUAL CONSENT
called when players feel the play would lead to nothing but draw, and it would just be a waste of time and energy to continue playing
INADEQUATE FORCE
called when neither player has enough pieces with which to mate, like when all that’s left are kings
50-move law
requires that in the next 50 moves, the other player must either mate or show some tangible proof (making a capture or moving a pawn or forcing a pawn-move
on the part of one’s opponent) that he has made headway
Repetition
called if same position is reached 3 times(no other move except the one he’s making repeatedly)
Perpetual Check
series of checks for a draw

Special MovesCheckmatewhen the king is in check and there’s no
possible way to escape from being check, his side lost the game
Castlingdone to hide king in a safer place or create
opening for the pieces
can only be done if
neither king or rook has previously made a move
squares between them are not occupied
En Passant“in passing”
When pawn advances two squares on its first move and lands next to opponent’s pawn that is on an adjacent file and the same horizontal row, the opponent’s pawn may capture it as if it had advanced only one square
8th rank pawnwhen pawn reaches the 8th rank, or the
opponents side of the board, it may be promoted to any piece except the king…if it is promoted to a queen, the move is called queening/promotion
