Answer 1

I will DO exactly what you ask of me.

To play chess you must understand every way the pieces move, as well as en passant, and castling.  You must understand all the rules. from there it's all your journey.

Answer 2

If you want to learn how to play pay a master $20 or $35

or buy a book explaining the basics.

Answer 3

Chess is very hard to learn.

You shoud visit some websites like this:

Answer 4

There's lots of material on the web to help you learn specific openings, tactics, and strategies, as well as many beginner books on the subject.  If you have access to a good library system, I recommend "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess" and Dan Heisman's "Everyone's Second Chess Book." Also, take a look at the reviews at http://www.chessville.com/reviews/review... or ask local players (you can find US clubs at http://tinyurl.com/6fwczv) what worked for them.

If you prefer to start with websites, here are a few to keep in mind:

Answer 5

The chess board is made up of 64 squares in contrasting colors. The chess board is divided by eight horizontal ranks (from numbers 1-8) and eight vertical files (from letters a-h) so that each of the 64 squares on the board can be identified. The board also has diagonals (from h1 to a8 for example). In the first diagram below, the e4 square is a light-colored square intersecting the 4th rank and the e-file. In the second diagram, the a7 square is the dark-colored square intersecting the 7th rank and the a-file. This square has a pawn occupying it.

This method of identifying squares is used when keeping score and is called algebraic notation. In this notation each piece (except for the pawn) is identified by a letter. The King="K" Queen="Q" Rook="R" Bishop="B" Knight='N". For example, the move "Nf3" means the Knight will move to the f3-square. Feel free to view the following game to get an idea of the board and how the notation works (Thompson-Blood, 1874).

Look at the initial positioning of the facing armies. Two important rules should be learned here. The board should be positioned so that the white or lighter-colored square is always on the lower right-hand corner. In addition, always remember to place the queen on her color… light queen on lighter-colored square and dark queen on the darker-colored square. Remember, "white on right… queen on her color."

Each chess game starts with two identical armies of contrasting colors. The lighter-colored army is considered "white," and the darker-colored army is considered "black." In these armies, each distinct piece has a function. The movements will be described in more detail in following lessons. Below is a chart giving the value of each piece.

Answer 8

You have got to be kidding me.... Chess is a hard game to learn, but there is no way you can learn it without someone showing it to you on a board. Much like poker, knowing what each hand does will not teach you much if you don't have the strategy.
