How to play
**Winning the game**
The aim of the game is to put your opponent's king in a position where it cannot escape being captured. This situation is called checkmate and ends the game.
**Starting point**
The game takes place on a board divided into 64 cells of two colors – black and white. The pieces are positioned as follows: the first row has rooks, knights, bishops, the queen (on its own matching square), the king, more bishops and knights and finishing with the rooks. The second row consists of pawns only.
**How to move?**
Players alternate moves, starting with those who play with white pieces. One piece can be moved per turn. If your move puts your piece on the same square as your opponent's piece, you capture that piece and remove it from the board.
