So, they decided that the shiniest colored piece should go first since it was daytime. Nighttime, the black pieces, would be used for more unconscious thinking like in your sleep. Yes chess should not even be turn based. That way no one can complain about the opponent wasting their time.
The story I heard, was in the past, they chose for both color and to see who moved first. Then at some point, it became customary and later a rule for white to move first.

The entire second rank for each player is occupied by their Pawns. The objective in chess is to checkmate your opponents King, and there are three potential ways the game can end:.
First, you can checkmate your opponent. This means that the King is in check under potential attack from an opposing piece and the player can not make any legal move to remove the King from check.
At this point, the game is over and the checkmated player loses. The amount of material on the chessboard is of no concern. Second, you and your opponent can reach a stalemate - the opponents King is not currently in check, but would be force to move in to check with their next move. Because you can never put your own King in check, you would have no legal moves to make. A stalemate does not mean the attacking player has won. Instead, it is a draw - neither player is victorious.
In timed games, each player has a specific amount of time to make their moves. Once their time runs out, they lose, regardless of the material on the board. That means that you could have only your King legt and deftly avoid mate attempts from an opponent with most of their pieces still on the board and still win the game if your opponent were to run out of time.
Castling, otherwise known as the rook and king switch, is one of the more distinguished chess rules, a move that involves the King and the Rook. This is the only situation in which you would move two of your own pieces in the same move. The King and the Rook move towards each other and swap places. To do this, move your King not one, but two spaces towards the Rook you are castling with. Then place the Rook on the opposite side of the King shown in the diagram to the right. This can be done on either the King side or Queen side, however there are several prerequisites:.
The king and rook may not have moved, there must not be any obstructing pieces between them, and the King must not move through check in order to complete the move. This special move involves the Pawn. As mentioned earlier, the pawn has the unique ability to move two spaces for its first move on the chessboard.
Some use this chess rule as an opportunity to avoid capture from an approaching pawn by passing the opposing piece with that double move. If this is done, the other player may make an "en passant", or "in passing" capture. Although the pawn has passed the capture square of the opposing side, that player can move his or her piece diagonally, as it does in capture, to the square that the other player had skipped.
The pawn that made the double move has been considered captured in passing, and is removed from the chessboard. Chess USA is America's leading retailer of chess sets, chess pieces , chess boards, and chess rules.
