  1. Apostles Chess Club Lesson #4

  2. Algebraic Chess Notation System The board is set up from white’s position. Black must look at the board from the white perspective.

  3. King = K Queen = Q Bishop = B Knight = N (K is already taken.) Rook = Rook Pawn = No notation The letters must be capitalized to indicate a piece, otherwise they indicate a square. The pawn doesn’t get its own designation. If a move indicates only a square, you can assume that the move involves a pawn.

  7. Draws A draw in chess means there is no winner. A drawn chess game occurs for different reasons. Repetition Rule If both players make exactly the same moves three times in a row, the players may agree to end the game in a draw. Insufficient Material If both players don’t have the necessary pieces left on the board to win, the game is a draw. Stalemate A player can only move his king either because it is his only piece left on the board or his other pieces are blocked. His king is not in check, but any square the king moves to will place the king in check. This is called a stalemate and makes the game end in a draw. Fifty Move Rule If the last 50 moves (both players combined) have not captured a piece or moved a pawn, then the game may be declared a draw. Player Agreement A draw may occur at any time if both players agree to it.

  8. Promoting a Pawn When a pawn advances to the 8th rank, it can be exchanged for a Queen, Rook, Bishop, or Knight.

  9. Starting a Game of Chess 1) If possibly only one game is going to be played, then one player places a white pawn in one hand and a black pawn in the other and places them behind his/her back. Both fists are brought to the front and the other player selects a fist. The fist is opened and if the white pawn shows, then the player who picked gets to choose what color he wants. If the black pawn shows, then the player holding the pawns gets to choose what color he wants. White always starts. 2) Both players may simply agree on who starts with white. For additional games players simply take turns on who will play with the white men.

  10. After the colors are chosen and the board is ready, the players shake hands. White then moves.

  11. Players should shake hands after each game.

  12. To achieve Level Three you must: 1) Answer a series of questions on the algebraic chess notation system. 2) Explain all the types of drawn games. 3) Attempt to promote a pawn against Mr. Stubalt. You will have two pawns and a king. I will have a rook and a king. 4) Explain the steps in starting a game of chess.
