Following is also a little background on chess.
Chess is a classic strategy board game that has been
played for hundreds of years. Chess is a two-player board game believed to
have been played in India
as early as the sixth century AD.
Chess
Chess is a fun
game with relatively easy to learn rules. Chess has a small board: 64
squares and up to 32 pieces to fill them. Chess is a two-player game, where
one player is assigned white pieces and the other black. Strong chess
players can take advantage of the first move advantage when playing white by
forcing black to defend or play an opening which the black player isn't
strong at.
For a really great guide on playing chess and learning the
secrets of chess that only the chess gurus would know, I have to recommend
this guide.

Success Secrets
Pieces
Pieces with
different types of allowed moves are placed on the board, a set of black
pieces in the first two rows and a set of white pieces in the last two rows.
The chess pieces are called the bishop (2), king (1),
knight (2), pawn (8),
queen (1), and rook (2).
You may not move a chess piece to a square already
occupied by one of your own chess pieces. But you can capture an enemy chess
piece that stands on a square where one of your chess pieces can move. The
Knight is the only piece that can jump over other chess pieces. Castling is
a special move that lets a player move two chess pieces at once the King and
one Rook. Further, there may not be chess pieces of either color between the
King and the Rook involved in castling.
Chess is a game
for its form, an art for its content and a science for its
difficulty.
