The aim of the game is to skillfully maneuver your Pieces such that no matter what your Opponent does, you will capture their King on the very next move. This is known as Checkmate as capturing the King is not required and it is given that Player achieving Checkmate is victorious as the Winner.

Starting with the White Player first, each Player takes it turn to make a move by picking up a Piece from a Starting Square and placing it down on a chosen Destination Square. Each Piece has a unique ability of moving and typically with a few exceptions, if a Piece is moved onto the same Square as an Opponent Piece, that Opponent Piece is Captured and eliminated from the game.

This alternating play continues until the game ends either by one side winning or a draw is reached.
