King - Moves one square in any direction. Queen - Moves any number of squares diagonally, horizontally, or vertically. Rook - Moves any number of squares horizontally or vertically. Bishop - Moves any number of squares diagonally. Knight - Moves in an ‘L-shape,’ two squares in a straight direction, and then one square perpendicular to that. Pawn - Moves one square forward, but on its first move, it can move two squares forward. It captures diagonally one square forward.

That's for sure. Dummies rarely gets involved, 😂

It's not a game for dummies though and it requires much skills and expertise to excel in it

Chess is a two-player abstract strategy board game where players take turns moving pieces on a checkered board, attempting to checkmate the opponent's king. The goal is to capture the opponent's king by placing it in a position where it is under attack (check) and cannot escape capture.

That's OK, having the knowledge alone is a good foundation towards becoming a better chess game expert.
