Practice makes perfect
There is a very important thing you should know: practice makes perfect! This is a rule that applies to almost everything in life, including chess. If you are an enthusiastic beginner you could probably miss out on this important detail. So, the best way you can learn chess is by playing chess, but not before studding a little bit.
Why chess?
Why not! Chess is a fun game with relatively easy to learn rules. This game can help you develop your ability to solve everyday problems; it can help you become more patient. After all, this is a game that relies on the mind\'s ability to find solutions to problems.
Now, I don\'t know the reason why you\'ve decided to learn to play chess. I can only guess that you are curios about the game or that you\'ve probably played before with your friends and lost miserably (it happen to me once upon a time). Or maybe you just want to learn new interesting things. No matter what your reason is I can assure you that you won\'t regret spending time in learning chess on this site.
Rules before you think how to play chess?
Each player must move one piece at a time. So, in fact, the game is played in a succession of moves. Each piece moves after a certain rule form one square to another and the game always starts with the player having the white pieces, making the first move. A piece can also capture an enemy piece according to certain rules. Some pieces are more important than others depending on their range of action and their value; for example: the queen is the strongest piece on the board because it has the greatest range of action while the king is the most important piece because it is the main piece targeted by the enemy attack. There are times when a move implies the movement of two pieces: when capturing, castling or promoting a pawn; for example when a player captures a piece he takes that piece outside the board and move his own piece in its place
