Comments/Ratings for a Single Item

ive been playin chess for 5 years now and dont really find this page useful. So im givin it a poor rating. There should be an advanced section too.

Thank you for creating this site. It is very clearly written and easy to understand. Both of us are new to chess and we are learning together. Your site has been a great help.

One note: in the example game, move 15, just before black wins, it says, 'White smiles and says, 'Checkmate!'' We are not certain, but we think this should probably say, 'Black smiles...' because black is about to win.

Thanks again!

this page is great for people who do not know how to play chess

This page is the first in a series of pages. Follow the Next link or go to the Index of all the pages in the series. The links for both are given on this page.

this page :it doesnt tell you anything!!

I haven't played in a long time (since I was in jr. high) and now, I'm attempting to pass on what little I know to my 9 yr. old daughter. This site has been a great help to me, teaching me what I forgot.

I have not played for many years and now my 8 year old son has joined the club at school.We have visted your site and we are both getting a great deal from it. Thank you. As well I have just dug up my old (35 years old) chess set so we can play at home. Once again thanks.

It was a pretty good article(rules)but you guys could add a game of chess to help starters understand how you play chess.

You switched them! Just kidding. I am so sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. Sometimes you can't see for looking!

No. The Queens are correctly placed. They always go on the square of their own color.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe your Queens on the wrong squares for game set-up. They should be where you have the Kings placed.

This is excellent for learning a game my 9 year old son already mostly understands. I never thought I would learn chess. I wish they had this when I was a kid. I would have been playing chess my whole life.

technnically speaking, does your hand have to leave the piece before the move counts? or does it have to touch the board?

u need 2 explain more like whento move each piece and where each piece goes the names with diagrams of each of the pieces.

The rule is this: ''The game is drawn when a player having the move claims a draw and demonstrates that at least 50 consecutive moves have been made by each side without the capture of any piece and without the movement of any pawn.'' -- From the FIDE Laws of Chess <p>In other words, if no one has made a capture or moved a pawn within the last 50 moves (by each player), then the game is a stalemate. <p>There is no rule with regard to one player having their King as their only remaining piece, although that is typically the situation in the above rule. <p>I hope this answers your question. If not, please keep asking!

If a king is the only remaining piece you have,are their a certain number of moves you can make before their is a stalemate

Just the job for the kids and dopy grandad!

COOL WEB SITGH

Thanks. Our son just received his 1st chess set and we had no idea of the rules or the set. Your site is easy to use and gives clear instructions, especailly for us beginners.
