Chess Main Equipment

In the game of chess there are several different features that you will want to be sure that you are familiar with.  First off, the main equipment that is required for you to be able to start playing your chess game is that you have a chess board along with the chess pieces. 

The chess board should be a square that has 64 squares that are equal in size and drawn all the way across.  Generally in white and black or other colors that are contrasting, the square’s colors should be alternated. 

Your chess set should also include a total of 32 pieces.  Each player should receive 16 pieces each, including; two knights, eight pawns, two rooks, two bishops, one king, and one queen.  Be sure that they are all the same color!
