Read more TERMS The horizontal rows are called ranks (1 - 8). The vertical rows are called files (a - h). When playing chess, the board is always set such that each player has a light-square on their right-hand side (Light on the right). Each players pieces are set up in the two ranks closest to them. The further of these two ranks is populated by a line of eight Pawns, each placed on a single square. The closer rank, meanwhile, is nearly symmetrical across the middle files. The Rooks are placed on the leftmost and rightmost squares, followed by the Knights on the spaces directly next to them, then Bishops, after the Knights. The two central squares of the closest rank are occupied by the King and Queen. The Queen is placed on the square matching her color, and the King occupies the square of the opposite color. Each players King and Queen should face each other, making the correct setup symmetrical across the middle ranks.

Development occurs when a passive piece is made more active. Because the strongest pieces begin behind Pawns, they have limited mobility, and are unable to attack, or threaten a significant amount of spaces. Middle Game The middle game begins after each player develops their pieces. The middle game is arguably the most difficult part of the game to learn. Each player develops their own strategy in the opening stage, and attempts to execute it while keeping the opponent at bay. Because each side has developed their pieces, it can be overwhelming to track each square threatened by an opponents forces. Many chess games have been won, and lost, in the middle game. Endgame The endgame begins when the Kings join the fight. During the fairly populated middle game, Pawns and pieces are exchanged back and forth such that by the endgame, the battlefield is reduced to a few pieces on each side. The King is much stronger on a less populated battlefield, and often plays a crucial role in determining whether a player wins or loses. Read more
