Players take turns in a clockwise manner around the board.

At the beginning of the game only four squares are not covered by chessmen and many people wonder how anyone can move. The pieces are arranged as shown in figure 1 with one of the four kings at each corner of the chessboard. The castles are placed on each side of the king, and the queen is positioned on the diagonal square directly in front of the king.
