|
<p>The player who controls the white pieces is the first to move. Click on
|
|
the piece that you plan to move. If <link xref="change-look-feel"><gui>Move
|
|
hints</gui></link> has been enabled, the possible fields onto which the piece
|
|
can be moved will display the chosen piece in a transparent way. Click on the
|
|
field onto which you want to move the piece. Afterwards, it is the turn of
|
|
the <link xref="chess-engines">opponent</link>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Starting GNOME Chess displays the main game window as shown below.</p>
