RULES:
During your turn, each piece that has a legal available move, must move. White may only move 6 times on their first turn. To help keep track of already moved pieces you can mark or rotate them. If a piece is unable to move, then it doesn’t move. If a piece moves and by doing so allows for another piece to move that previously was unable, then that other piece must move before you can end your turn. Each piece may only be moved once each turn and castling is considered a King move so the rook must move after a castle if it is able. The king may not move into check and checkmate doesn’t finalize until the end of the turn of the player whose king is threatened. If a player’s king is checkmated at the end of their turn they lose, even if they have their opponent’s king in check or checkmate. The first player to capture or checkmate their opponent’s king, wins.
