How to play Chess

This tutorial covers the rules of chess, and is designed for people who have never played before. If you're new to the game, then this is the place to start. There isn't much here for advanced players, but it could be a useful refresher for people who have not played in a long time, or are confused about one or more rules of the game. If you already know the rules (including castling, en passant and all the ways a game can be drawn) then you can skip this tutorial.
