Chess is a game, played by two players. One player plays with the white pieces, and the other player plays with the black pieces. Each player has sixteen pieces in the beginning of the game: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. The game is played on a chessboard, consisting of 64 squares: eight rows and eight columns. The squares are alternately light (white) and dark colored. The board must be laid down such that there is a black square in the lower-left corner. To [facilitate] notation of moves, all squares are given a name. From the view of the white player, the rows are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; the lowest row has number 1, and the upper row has number 8. The columns are named, from left to right, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h. Alternately, [the players] [make a move], starting with the white player (the player that plays with the white pieces.) A move consists of moving [one of] the pieces of the player to a different square, following the rules of movement for that piece - there is one special exception, named castling, where players move two pieces [simultaneously]. A player can take a piece of the opponent by moving one of his own pieces to the square that contains a piece of the opponent. The opponents piece then is removed from the board, and out of play for the rest of the game. The queen has the combined moves of the rook and the bishop, i.e., the queen may move in any straight line, [horizontal], vertical, or diagonal.
