</info>
<title>Rules</title>
+ <p>Each player begins the game with sixteen pieces: each player's pieces
+ comprise one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights and eight
+ pawns. The pieces follow some rules while moving.</p>
+
+ <section id="rules-king">
+ <title>King</title>
+ <p>The King can move only one square horizontally, vertically, or diagonally
+ with the exception of a special double move, castle. Castling consists of
+ moving the king two squares towards a rook, then moving the rook onto the
+ square over which the king crossed. Castling is only permissible if all of the
+ following conditions hold:</p>
+
+ <list>
+ <item><p>The player must never have moved both the king and the rook involved
+ in castling.</p></item>
+ <item><p>There must be no pieces between the king and the rook.</p></item>
+ <item><p>The king may not currently be in check, but castling is
+ illegal if it would place the king in check.</p></item>
+ <item><p>The king and the rook must be on the same rank (to exclude castling
+ with a promoted pawn).</p>
+ </list>
+ <p>The player is said to be in check, when a king is under direct attack by
+ one or more of the opponent's pieces. When in check, only moves that remove
+ the king from attack are permitted. The object of the game is to checkmate
+ the opponent; this occurs when the opponent's king is in check, and there are
+ no moves that remove the king from attack.</p>
