How do you play chess ?Is it hard?

Question

Help!My fam wants each one of us to teach each other a board game.I chose chess.Soo... how do you play?

Answer 1

First, learn the movements of the pieces, and all of the basic rules. Then play with other beginners until you feel that you have mastered the basic movements and rules. Then buy a beginners book that explains the basic opening, middlegame and endgame strategies. I recommend Yasser Seirawan's books for beginners. Then start to study a master games book explained by a teacher destined for beginners. This will make you appreciate the beauty of chess. Also using a chess playing program such as Chessmaster can help you learn chess, by setting the level to low and then rising little by little, it includes tutorials as well and teaching modes.
