How To Set Up A Chess Board?
One picture is worth a thousand words.
Notice that the White King is against the Black King and the White Queen is against the Black Queen (there is a common mistake that they are crossed).
How To Play Chess?
The game is a turn game.
Each player in turn moves one tool in his possession according to the rules of each tool indicated above.
The player with the white tools first starts the game.
When player A’s tool hits player B’s tool, the same tool of player B comes out of the game.
What Is Check?
Check means that you are attacking the king.
What Is Checkmate?
Checkmate says you are attacking the king and your opponent has no way to escape. In this case you won the game.
There Is A Possibility Of A Draw?
When you are not attacking the king but any move your opponent will make will in turn cause you to hit the king. This situation ends the game with a draw.
How To Win?
The first to hit the king is the winner or in other words – checkmate!

Great game for both kids and adults.
The game forces the player to think a few moves ahead. Which improves thinking and memory. The game sharpens the child’s ability to abstract and patience.
Following Netflix’s super successful series – “Queen Gambit” – masses of parents are more interested in the game of chess and expose their children to this fascinating game.
We highly recommend exposing the kids to this game. There is a good chance that you will be able to take them off the screens for a while and focus them on this fascinating game that can only contribute to them.
