My mom's friend actually sat down and played a game with me, and he explained the rules for how to move each game piece on the board. He said I actually did really well for a first timer.
I think the coolest chess piece is the Queen piece because she is surprisingly powerful on the battlefield and can move in almost any direction. I'm gonna start thinking of my queen piece as "The Warrior Queen", like Boudica.
