Place the black queen piece directly across from the other queen piece. The queen has a crown. Step 4. Place one bishop on each side of the king and queen pieces for both black and white. Step 5. Place one knight piece next to each bishop for both black and white. The knight often looks like a horse.
Step 6. Place a rook on each corner of the board. It is a piece that is to be guarded by all other pieces or else the game will end in "Checkmate" which means "The King is dead! Then in the "endgame," it marches to the center of the board to become a powerful fighting piece.
Moving The King can move to any open adjacent square not under attack by an enemy piece Diagram 1. Moving to a square attacked by an enemy piece is putting a King into danger, or "check. This is illegal. However the King can safely move to the d6-square. Capturing First rule… both Kings must remain on the board the entire game. The King cannot be captured and is only able to capture a piece that is not "protected" by another.
For example, the position in Diagram 2 shows the white King with many enemy pieces surrounding it. During the castling, the king moves two squares towards the rook he intends to castle with, and the rook moves to the square through which the king passed.
This option, though, only stays open for one move. The choice is not limited to previously captured pieces. On a player's move, if they touch their own piece, they are required to move that piece, unless it has no legal moves.
If they touch an opponent's piece, they are required to take that piece if they may legally do so. A move is not final, however, until the player lets go of the piece. The opponent must declare victory and may not do so if neither player has time remaining, even if both players know which player ran out of time first.

If your board has ranks and files labeled, place the white rooks on the corners of the first rank and the black rooks on the corners of the eighth rank. Place the knights, which usually look like a horse's head, next to the rooks of the same color. The bishops are placed next to the knights of the same color. Bishops often look like an ornamental hat, but again, this varies widely based on the set. The queen is usually the second-tallest piece in a chess set.
Place the queen in the center square of its color. The white queen is placed on the lighter center square while the black queen is placed on the darker center square. A good way of remembering this is "queen on color. Many sets include a second queen of each color. This is kept to the side, and used when a player advances a pawn across the board and "Queens," or exchanges that pawn for another queen.
The king is usually the tallest piece in a chess set and typically has a cross on its head. Each king should be placed next to the queen of the same color. If your board has coordinates, the kings would be on the e-file. The pawns are the shortest and most numerous pieces in a chess set; there are eight pawns of each color.
Place the pawns in each square in the row in front of the other pieces of the same color. If your board has coordinates, the white pawns should be on the second rank, and the black pawns should be on the seventh rank. Once your pieces are set up, you're ready to start the game.
