Rules 

 The player with the white pieces will make the first move. 

 Players will get to be white by a toss 

 Players are required to checkmate the opponent's king. This happens when the king is put into check and cannot get out of check. There are only three ways a king can get out of check: move outof the way (though he cannot castle!), block the check with another piece, or capture the piece threatening the king. If a king cannot escape checkmate, then the game is over. Customarily the king is not captured or removed from the board, the game is simply declared over. 

 If a player touches one of their own pieces they must move that piece as long as it is a legal move.  If a player touches an opponent's piece, they must capture that piece. 

 A player who wishes to touch a piece only to adjust it on the board must first announce the intention, usually by saying “adjust”. 

 Each player will get maximum of 2 minutes’ time to make their move. 

 Each player will get 20 minutes in total to use for their entire game and can decide how to spend that time. Once a player makes a move the opponent's clock will start its own. If a player runs out of time and the opponent calls the time, then the player who ran out of time loses the game. 

 Management/officials of the game may change the duration of the game according to the number of participants or the rounds. 

Winning the Game
