Shuruaat, aapko kya chahiye

Chess, Hindi mein शतरंज (shatranj): do players ka game hai. Ek ke paas white pieces, doosre ke paas black. The board is 64 squares, aadhe light aur aadhe dark, and each player starts with sixteen pieces: ek raja, ek wazir, do haathi, do oont, do ghode aur aath pyade. White always moves first, then the players take turns: ek chaal aap, ek chaal opponent. Goal simple hai: opponent ke raja ko aise phansaana ki uske paas koi legal chaal na bache. Us position ko checkmate: शह और मात , kehte hain, and it wins the game instantly.

Board setup: board kaise lagayein

The starting position: each queen stands on her own colour, white on d1 and black on d8 — Starting position: wazir apne rang par: white wazir d1 (light square) aur black wazir d8 (dark square).

Board ko aise rakhiye ki har player ke right-hand corner mein light square ho. Pieces ki back row, corner se andar ki taraf: haathi, ghoda, oont: phir beech ke do squares par wazir aur raja. Yaad rakhne ka rule ek hi hai: wazir apne rang par. White wazir light square (d1) par khadi hoti hai, black wazir dark square (d8) par. Raja bacha hua square leta hai, aur aath pyade poori second row bhar dete hain. Bas: setup ho gaya.

Har piece ki chaal

Chhe alag pieces hain aur har ek apne tareeke se chalta hai. Ek piece opponent ke piece ke square par pahunch jaaye to woh use capture kar leta hai: captured piece board se hat jaata hai. Apne hi piece ke square par aap nahin ja sakte.

राजा · Raja (King)

The king on e4 can move one square in any direction: the eight highlighted squares around it — Raja ek square, kisi bhi direction mein.

Raja sirf ek square chalta hai, par kisi bhi direction mein: seedha ya tirchha. He is the most important piece: raja gaya to game gaya. Raja kabhi bhi aise square par nahin ja sakta jahan opponent ka koi piece use attack karta ho.

वज़ीर · Wazir (Queen)

The queen on d4 moves any distance along ranks, files and diagonals: eight directions at once — Wazir aath directions mein, kitni bhi door.

Wazir, jise rani bhi kehte hain, sabse powerful piece hai. She moves any distance in a straight line: aage, peeche, side mein, ya tirchha. Ek hi condition: raaste mein koi piece nahin hona chahiye.

हाथी · Haathi (Rook)

The rook on d4 moves any distance in straight lines: up, down, left and right — Haathi seedhi lines mein, rank ya file par.

Haathi seedhi lines mein chalta hai, up, down, left, right: kitni bhi door. Har player ke paas do haathi hote hain, corners par. Simple chaal, par endgame mein haathi aksar sabse decisive piece hota hai.

ऊँट · Oont (Bishop)

The bishop on d4 moves any distance along diagonals and stays on one colour for the whole game — Oont sirf tirchha chalta hai aur hamesha apne rang par rehta hai.

Oont sirf diagonals par chalta hai, kitni bhi door. Isliye ek oont poori game light squares par rehta hai aur doosra dark squares par , woh kabhi rang nahin badalte. Dono oont saath mein poora board cover karte hain.

घोड़ा · Ghoda (Knight)

The knight on d4 reaches the eight highlighted squares with its L-shaped move and jumps over anything in between — Dhai ghar: L-shape ke aath squares, aur beech ke pieces se koi fark nahin padta.

Ghoda ki chaal ko Hindi mein ढाई घर (dhai ghar) kehte hain: do square seedha, phir ek square side mein, ek L banate hue. Ghoda is the only piece that jumps: raaste mein khade pieces se use koi fark nahin padta. Beginners ke liye sabse confusing piece, aur thodi practice ke baad sabse mazedaar.

प्यादा · Pyada (Pawn)

The pawn on e2 moves straight ahead, two squares on its first move, but captures one square diagonally — Pyada seedha chalta hai (pehli chaal par do square), par capture tirchha karta hai.

Pyada ek square aage chalta hai: apni pehli chaal par chaahe to do square. Par capture woh seedha nahin, ek square tirchha karta hai. Pyada kabhi peeche nahin chal sakta, isliye har pyade ki chaal permanent hoti hai. Aur ek secret: pyada board ke doosre end tak pahunch jaaye to woh wazir ban sakta hai: us rule ka naam promotion hai, neeche detail mein.

Shah aur maat: check aur checkmate

Checkmate on the back rank: the rook on e8 attacks the king on g8 and the king's own pawns block every escape — Back-rank mate: e8 par haathi shah de raha hai, aur raja ke apne pyade uske escape squares rok rahe hain.

Jab koi piece opponent ke raja ko attack karta hai, use check , शह: kehte hain. Check ka jawab usi chaal par dena zaroori hai, aur jawab teen hi ho sakte hain: raja ko safe square par le jaayein, beech mein apna piece laakar attack block karein, ya attack karne waale piece ko capture kar lein. Agar teeno mein se kuchh bhi possible nahin hai, to woh checkmate , शह और मात: hai, aur game wahin khatam. Diagram mein sabse common mate pattern hai: back-rank mate, jahan raja apne hi pyado ke peeche phans jaata hai.

Teen special chaalein

Castling: the king jumps two squares to g1 and the rook lands beside it on f1, in one move — Castling: raja do square jump karke g1 par, haathi uske bagal mein f1 par: ek hi chaal mein.

Castling mein raja do square haathi ki taraf jump karta hai aur haathi raja ke doosri taraf aa jaata hai: one move, two pieces. Conditions: raja aur us haathi ne abhi tak koi chaal nahin chali ho, beech ke squares khaali hon, aur raja check mein na ho na check se guzre. Ek hi game mein aap sirf ek baar castle kar sakte hain, aur usually jitni jaldi karein utna better: raja safe ho jaata hai.

Promotion: the pawn reaching e8 turns into a queen, rook, bishop or knight of its own colour — Promotion: e8 par pahunchte hi pyada wazir (ya koi bhi piece) ban jaata hai.

Promotion: pyada aakhri row tak pahunch jaaye to woh usi chaal par wazir, haathi, oont ya ghoda ban jaata hai: lagbhag hamesha log wazir chunte hain. En passant thoda rare hai: agar opponent ka pyada do square chalkar aapke pyade ke theek bagal mein aa jaaye, to sirf agli chaal par aap use aise capture kar sakte hain jaise woh ek hi square chala ho.

Aapki pehli game, paanch tips

Rules aa gaye, ab pehli game ke liye paanch simple habits. Ek: centre ke squares (d4, d5, e4, e5) par control banaiye, wahan se pieces sabse zyaada kaam karte hain. Do: ghode aur oont jaldi bahar nikaaliye: jo pieces ghar par khade hain woh khel hi nahin rahe. Teen: raja ko jaldi castle kariye. Chaar: wazir ko bahut jaldi bahar mat laaiye, opponent uspar attack kar karke free chaalein kama leta hai. Paanch: har chaal se pehle ek second rukiye aur dekhiye: kya opponent ki pichhli chaal kisi cheez ko attack kar rahi hai? Beginner games hang hue pieces se decide hoti hain, dhyaan se dekhna hi sabse bada skill hai. Jab openings mein aage badhna ho, to best chess openings for beginners wali series padhiye.

Khud try kariye, do puzzles

Padhna kaafi nahin, ab board par kariye. Pehle puzzle mein ghoda ki dhai ghar chaal, doosre mein aapka pehla checkmate.

Aapke sawaal: FAQ

Chess ko Hindi mein kya kehte hain?

Shatranj (शतरंज). The game's oldest ancestor is chaturanga (चतुरंग), played in India around the sixth century. Shatranj and chess are the same game today: same board, same rules everywhere in the world.

Chess seekhne mein kitna time lagta hai?

The rules take about thirty minutes: this page covers all of them. Comfort takes a few games. Play your first game right after reading and the moves settle much faster than they do from reading alone.

Ghoda kaise chalta hai?

Dhai ghar (ढाई घर): two squares straight, then one square sideways, making an L. The ghoda is the only piece that jumps over other pieces, which is why it feels confusing at first and becomes your favourite later.

Sabse powerful piece kaun sa hai?

The wazir (वज़ीर), called the queen in English. She moves any distance in all eight directions. The raja is the most important piece, but the wazir is the strongest one.

Kya main phone par chess khel sakta hoon?

Haan: install the Zapp Chess app from the Play Store or App Store. Games start from a middlegame position and take a few minutes each.
