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 board must be laid down such that there is a black square in the lower-left corner. 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. A square gets a name, consisting of the combination of its column-letter and row-number, e. g. , the square in the lower left corner (for white) is a1. 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. (Taking is not compulsory. ) At the start of the game, the position of the pieces is as follows. Thus, at the second row, there are eight white pawns, at the seventh row, there are eight black pawns. At the first row, from left to right, we have a: rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, and rook. Note that the queens start of squares of their own color, with a dark square in each players left hand corner. Movement of the pieces Rook The rook moves in a straight line, horizontally or vertically. The rook may not jump over other pieces, that is: all squares between the square where the rook starts its move and where the rook ends its move must be empty. (As for all pieces, when the square where the rook ends his move contains a piece of the opponent, then this piece is taken. The square where the rook ends his move may not contain a piece of the player owning this rook. ) Bishop The bishop moves in a straight diagonal line. The bishop may also not jump over other pieces. © 2003 Escalade Sports 23 For Customer Service Call 1-866-556-2759 Queen 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. Knight The knight makes a move that consists of first one step in a horizontal or vertical direction, and then one step diagonally in an outward direction. The knight jumps: it is allowed that the first square that the knight passes over is occupied by an arbitrary piece. [. . . ] A player delivers two balls in each of the first nine frames unless a strike is scored. In the tenth frame, a player delivers three balls if a strike or spare is scored. Every frame must be completed by each player bowling in regular order. © 2003 Escalade Sports 31 For Customer Service Call 1-866-556-2759 Game - How Scored - Rule 1 Except when a strike is scored, the number of pins knocked down by the player's first delivery is to be marked next to the small square in the upper right hand corner of that frame, and the number of pins knocked down by the player's second delivery is to be marked inside the small square. If none of the standing pins are knocked down by the second delivery in a frame, the score sheet shall be marked with a (-). [. . . ]
