The Twelve Days of Chess

By Daniel S. Todd - 3/27/2018

A song for fun and learning.

“On the first day of chess class, the instructor said to me:”

1. Above all else you must protect your King!
2. Rooks move rank and file.
3. Only Knights can jump.
4. Shake hands first.
5. THINK, BEFORE YOU MOVE!
6. A touch is a take.
7. A touch is a move.
8. Queen starts on her color.
9. Look out for forking.
10. Bishops stay on color.
11. En passant.
12. Don’t get pinned.
