The rules and methods that Pyprohly has posted is correct.

Daxiel I would and am suggesting buy a book on the rules of chess. I haven't bought one in decades but they got to be under $10.00.

Once you know and understand the rules I have a little suggestion that helps me.

When I play chess on my computer I set up a big board beside me with big pieces.
For me my 3 brain cells work better when playing chess looking down at the board instead of a vertical monitor.
I don't know why that is.

Wonderful idea, I will try this tonight when I play a game.
