Today we were lucky to have Noble and Dan come to teach us the basics of chess. The first of 8 lessons to get our skill up!
Here's some things we learnt... Practice up for next time!
Chess: letters across x-axis, numbers up y-axis
White on
the right correct way to set up the board.
Notation
of chess - co-ordinates
Pawns 1 -
one square or 2 squares (First move only), cannot go backwards or
sideways. If it gets to the other side
it can be promoted. Can only capture on
a diagonal. Pawns can capture all pieces.
Rook 5 -
straight lines cannot jump.
Knight 3
- L shapes 2 down one across any direction. But always L shape. Can Jump.
Bishop 3-
diagonal only cannot jump. One on a black and one on a white square. Good idea
to capture a bishop to have safe squares.
Queen 9 -
Power - diagonals and straight lines. As
many as she wants.
King 0 -
Mr Useless he can only move one square at a time. Needs to stay home.
If you
call checkmate and it is not check mate then you have lost because it is not
correct.
Practice the 2 rook chess move.
