fission Q&jeetiw

In any galaxy, the goal oi chess is to checkmate your opponent’s King. In
standard chess games, the King is not captured and removed; instead, he

checked and must get out of check on the next move. If he cannot escape,

&he (pieces

White always moves first, then the players take turns. You can move one
piece during each turn, except in castling, where you can move your King

that can jump over other pieces. All other pieces must move along
unblocked horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines. You cannot have two of
your own pieces on a square, but you can capture an enemy piece by
landing on the square where it is standing. When you capture an enemy,
normally you remove it and put your own piece there. In gfie Software

gbofworks Star Wars Chess, there is a dramatic battle animation

when a piece is captured!

The Software Toolworks Star Wars® Chess

The Kings - Luke Skywalker & The Emperor

The Kings are the most important pieces in the
game. When your King is checkmated (trapped),
you lose.

Except for castling, the King can only move one
square in any direction, as shown by the dotted
squares in the diagram below. The King may not
move into check, which is any square threatened
by an enemy piece.

Luke Skywalker is the White King. Once a farm
boy on the remote planet of Tatooine, Luke was
tutored in the ways of the Force by the Jedi
Masters, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. Now young
Skywalker is a Jedi Knight. He carries the lightsaber once used by
his father, a Jedi Knight destroyed by Darth Vader.

The Emperor is the Black King and Supreme Ruler of the Galactic
Empire. Despite his old, decrepit appearance and use of a gnarled
cane, the Emperor possesses incredible powers from his mastery of the
dark side of the Force. His power exceeds even that of his servant Lord
Vader, and can be seen issuing from his fingers as arcs of evil energy.

Leia Organa is a senator from her home planet of Alderaan, and
secretly a leader of the Rebel Alliance. Once captured by Darth Vader,
Leia was freed by Luke and his companions. She now continues to
lead the Rebellion against the Empire. Leia’s talents as a leader are
matched by her prowess with a blaster and other weapons.

Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith, is a Master of
the dark side of the Force. Once schooled by
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Vader succumbed to the
dark side and now seeks to destroy the Rebel
Alliance. He is adept at mind control,
levitation, and use of the lightsaber.

He SCitigiits - CliieisiSsacea §. Tusk@n Raiders

The Knight move is a special L-shaped jump and it
is the only piece that can jump other pieces on
either side. The Knight’s jump is 2 squares
horizontally or vertically, then 1 more square at a
right angle, as shown by the dotted squares in the
diagram below.

The Knight always lands on a square that is the
opposite color from where it starts. The Knight
does not capture pieces it jumps; it only captures
an enemy when it lands on its square. Each side
has two Knights.

Chewbacca is an 8-foot-tall, 200-year-old Wookiee. Known as Chewie
to his friends, he is a skilled pilot and a fierce warrior. Enemies should
watch out for his paws, blasters, or personal bowcaster.

Tusken Raiders, or “Sand People,’’ are native to the desolate deserts of
Tatooine, where they roam on banthas and raid local settlers. Their
gaderffii sticks are vicious weapons.

The Software Toolworks' Star Wars® Chess

The Rooks - Yoda & AT-ST

The Rook can move any number of squares in a horizontal or vertical
direction that is not blocked, as shown by the dotted squares in the
diagram below. Each side has two Rooks. They are not restricted to
colored squares.

Yoda is the Jedi Master who taught Obi-
Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker. Yoda has mentored Jedi Knights for
over 800 years, and lives on the bog planet of Dagobah. Funny, he is,
and a master of levitation and defense.

An AT-ST is an All Terrain Scout Transport, also known as a “chicken
walker.’’ These Imperial walkers are armed with guns and laser
cannons.

The Pawns - R2-D2 & Stormlroopers

The Pawn moves straight ahead, but it captures
diagonally. On the first move, the Pawn has the
option of moving 1 or 2 squares; after that, it may
move 1 square. In the diagram below, the dotted
squares show possible forward moves, and the
asterisked squares show possible captures. Note that
the White Pawn has 2 possible forward moves (first
move), but the Black Pawn has 1 possible forward
move, because it is not on its first move. If a Pawn
gets to the other side of the board (row 8), it is
promoted to a Queen.

R2-D2 is an astromech droid: an information-retrieval and computer
repair robot. The beeps and whistles Artoo
uses for communications are usually
interpreted for others by his companion
C-3PO. His outer panels hide a variety of
useful tools.

Imperial Stormtroopers are the pawns of
the dark side. They wear white armored
suits, and aren’t very accurate with their
weapons.

Eh passant

This phrase from Earth’s “French” language means “in passing” and is
a special Pawn capture. The capture is made when a player moves a

turn, that Black Pawn is safe from en passant capture for the rest of the
game. Note that each Pawn can be threatened in this way.

Castling

Each player may castle once during a game, if certain conditions are
met. Castling lets you move two pieces at once: your King and a Rook.
The King moves two squares left or right toward one of his Rooks. At
the same time, the Rook goes to the square beside his King that is
toward the center of the board, as shown in the diagrams below.

Now that you understand how the pieces move, you need to know how to
keep your opponent from checkmating your King.

You may not move your King into check. For example, you may not move
onto a diagonal with the opponent’s Bishop if there are no other pieces
between the Bishop and your King. If you are in check, you have three
options:

• Capture the attacking piece.

• Put one of your other pieces between the attacker and your King.

0 Move the King away from the attack.

If you cannot do any of these things, you are checkmated and you lose!

If your King is not in check, but you can make no legal move, then you
have a stalemate and the game is a draw or tie. There are two other
technical ways you can have a draw:

• 3 Repetition Draw: If the same board position occurs 3 times
during the game, you have a draw.

• 50 Moves without Progress: If 50 moves occur without a
capture, or pawn move, you have a draw.
