The Initial Position

• The object in chess is to checkmate your
  opponent's King. Checkmate, or just "mate" occurs
  when a king is attacked and the king cannot
  escape capture on the next move.
• Chess is played on a board with 64 squares set up
  in the following way
• The Rooks begin the game in the corners.
• The Knights (many beginning players call them
  horses) are next to the Rooks.
• The Bishops stands next to the Knights.
• Then the King and the Queen.
• Note that white and black Queens both begin the
  game on squares of their color. The white Queen
  begins on a white square. The black Queen begins
  on a black square.
• And, at the beginning of the game, always start
  with a white square in the lower right corner of
  the chessboard.
• TO BEGIN THE GAME, white moves first, and then
  black... taking turns until CHECKMATE, or one
  player RESIGNS, or both players agree to a draw.
