CHESS

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

A win can be earned by checkmating the opponent when an opponent's time has expired before they

have made the required number of moves in the given time allotment
