Whose Turn Is It? White Moves First

Learn turns, legal moves, and the gentle touch-move rule for a real board.

Step 1 of 8

White always moves first, then the players take turns making one move each. If you have a legal move, you must choose one; in an over-the-board game, deliberately touching a movable piece means you must move it.
