| The Opening | Rules | Checkmate | Tactics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moving out the Rook's Pawn is a good first move. | The King can be captured | Checkmate is when the King is in check and cannot get out. | A Fork is when two pieces are attacking a single piece. |
| Knights should generally be moved out before Bishops. | You can castle when you are in check. | Without any other pieces but one Knight you can checkmate the King. | An example of a Skewer is when a Queen is in front of a Knight and the Queen is attacked by a Rook |
| The Queen should be brought into play as early in the game as possible. | If a Rook is moved back to its starting position, it can still castle with the King. | With nothing left but a Pawn, you cannot ever checkmate the King. | What is a Discovery? |
