A. Appendices
A.1. Rules of Play:
The game of chess is played between two opponents who move their pieces alternately on square board called a chessboard. The player with the white pieces commences the game. A player is said to have the move, when his opponents move has been made. The objective of each player is to place the opponents king under attack in such a way that the opponent has no legal move. The player who achieves this goal is said to have checkmated the opponents king and to have won the game. Leaving ones own king under attack, exposing ones own king to attack and also capturing the opponents king are not allowed. The opponent whose king has been checkmated has lost the game. If the position is such that neither player can possibly checkmate, the game is drawn.

A.2. The Initial Position of the Pieces:

The chessboard is composed of an 8 x 8 grid of 64 equal squares alternately light (the white squares) and dark (the black squares). The chessboard is placed between the players in such a way that the near corner square to the right of the player is white. At the beginning of the game one player has 16 light-coloured pieces (the white pieces); the other has 16 dark-coloured pieces (the black pieces). These pieces are as follows: A king, usually indicated by the symbol A queen, usually indicated by the symbol Two rooks, usually indicated by the symbol Two bishops, usually indicated by the symbol Two knights, usually indicated by the symbol Eight pawns, usually indicated by the symbol
