How To Play Chess: Learn All The Rules Of The Royal Game

Learn how to play chess, one of the most popular games on the planet! In this video, IM Danny Rensch will teach you all the rules of the game.

Chess does not need to be complicated. This video will show you all the rules you need to learn to start playing chess. From setting up the board to how each piece moves, Danny will give you hints to remember every rule. Here’s a summary of what you’ll learn in this video:

The pieces

Rooks: rooks move up and down, left and right, for as many squares as they want;
Bishop: bishops move diagonally as many squares as they want;
Queen: queens move to all directions, as many squares as they want;
Knight: knights move like a capital L and jump over other pieces;
Pawn: pawns move up the board one square (or two on their first move) and capture diagonally one square. Pawns also have a special capture called «en passant.»
King: kings move one square in every direction and can’t move into check.

Checks and Checkmate. Draws

When a king is under attack, the king is in check. If the player under attack can’t move their king out of the way, block the attack, or capture the attacking piece, the king is in checkmate, and they lose the game. The game ends in a draw if a king is not under attack and can’t move anywhere (because it would move into check), and there are no other legal moves to make.

Castling

There’s another special rule in chess called «castling.» That rule allows players to move their king and one of the rooks at the same time. The king goes two squares to the side of the rook, and the rook jumps over the king and lands next to it. However, players can only castle under certain conditions.

Setting Up The Board

Finally, Danny will teach you how to set up the board, so you can start playing chess over the board!

  1. great tutorial. Thank you so much! about to start my chess journey at 30. never too late

  2. I have a question about pawn promotion: If your pawn has reached the end and let's say you want to make another knight for example, but you already have 2 knights, is this possible? It seems unlikely to me you can have 3 rooks/3 knights/ 3 bishops. Most chess sets also come with only 2 rooks, 2 knights and 2 bishops. so this is very confusing to me.

  3. It may be redundant to state… But one rule you forgot to mention is that the starting player plays white first.

  4. It’s so nice to be able to refresh our brains on the basics of playing chess every so often

  5. cant the black or the white do the vice versa when castling, as in short end castling for the black and the long end for the white?

  6. If your confused about En passant, this is my conclusion:

    En passant can be done when your opponent’s pawn passed beside your pawn on their pawn’s first move. by then, you can capture their pawn while moving forward.

  7. when he said "any time" at 4: 42 it means we can choose to not play two squares the first time but leave it an other time

  8. Great instruction! I am looking forward to getting started! Now let's hope I remember everything!

  9. if you still don't get en passant, here's how you can understand it with gamer terms:
    when a pawn moves 2 spaces forward, it leaves an extra hitbox behind it that can only be attacked by enemy pawns and lasts for 1 turn

  10. Can the king take any piece that's always within its movement range? Whatever the circumstance

  11. Oh now I unterstood stalemate, if the king is not under attack or checked and the player doesnt have any move left then it will be stalemate

  12. Can anyone tell the actual name of the pawns when they were invented. These knights rook are all western names try finding them out.

  13. what if i move my queen to checkmate the opponent but then my king is under check
    is it leagal?

  14. Thank you very much for the explanation.
    Last time I played chess was in a primary school 1986!
    Now In 2023- I m tempted to order a chess board:)

  15. Thank you for explaining on how to set up a chess board whenever i play on a chessboard we play a game of rock paper scissors to see who moves first.

  16. I am sending it to my friends so we can play together in the school, Although we are all beginners it is better than being bored in the last class 😃

  17. An excellent video for demonstrating the game! 40 years ago, my dad brought chart paper home from work to draw out all this information; he worked so hard to try to help me master the game. I'm still a beginner, but this video has helped refresh my understanding of en passant and castling. Thank you!

  18. The beauty of chess,i played 6 games and won 4,drew 1 and lost 1 in school,i placed second in an interschool competition

  19. So let's se if i understand. So you can take the precise only if there on the square your about to do the next move?
