Comment jouer à Échecs
- White moves first; players then alternate moving one piece at a time.
- Pawns advance and capture diagonally; knights jump in an L; bishops travel diagonally; rooks move in straight lines; queens combine both; kings move one square.
- You may not leave your own king in check. Castle when the king and rook have not moved, the path is clear, and no crossed square is attacked.
- Promote a pawn that reaches the last rank. Checkmate wins; stalemate and standard draw conditions end the game without a winner.
Astuces et stratégie
- Develop knights and bishops early and fight for the center.
- Castle before opening the position around your king.
- Before every move, scan checks, captures, and threats for both sides.
- Trade when ahead in material; keep tension when you need counterplay.
