**a. How to Play Chess**
**--------------------**
There are many variations of the game of chess,
Chess Marvel is one variation. To start playing chess,
click on the piece you wish to move, and then click on
the destination you wish to move it to. Or, if you wish
for the computer to make the first move, click on the
'Move' button and the computer player will start the
game. Each player then takes turns moving their 16 chess
pieces across the board.
The King can move to any adjacent empty square, or an
adjacent square occupied by an unprotected opposing piece.
The Queen can move along the diagonal, horizontal, or
vertical in any direction over unoccupied squares. And
can capture an opposing piece by landing in its square.
The Rook can be moved along the horizontal and
vertical in any direction over unoccupied squares. And
can capture an opposing piece by landing in its square.
The Bishop can be moved along the diagonal in any
direction over unoccupied squares. And can capture an
opposing piece by landing in its square.
The Knight moves in an L-shaped direction over squares
that may, or may not be occupied, capturing the opposing
piece in the square it lands on.
A Pawn can move two squares its first move, but there
after it moves one square at a time. It can capture
opposing pieces on either diagonal square facing it.
To win at chess you must either capture or checkmate
your opponent's king.

levels. At start-up, Chess Marvel plays at Novice
