Fun facts:

1. A piece is NOT controlling the square where it is at.

2. King can capture a queen only if previous move was a queen move (or pawn which was promoted to a queen).

3. A knight changes its square's color each move.

4. You can fork with a knight or a bishop only if forked pieces are on the same color squares.

5. Opposite colored bishops are the only ones, which can't capture each other (e.g. a knight and a rook can capture each other).

6. During repetitions, there are no pawn moves or captures.

7. When it is stalemate, king (or pinned piece) must move and wherever it goes, king will be captured. So not a draw, but a loss.

8. There are 20 possible first moves. So after white's and black's first moves, there can be 400 different situations.

9. You shouldn't try to draw the game if your opponent has an insufficient material.

10. When you promote a pawn to a queen, you win a queen, but also lose a pawn.

11. Imagine you have a rook, which is protected. If the pawn attacks the rook, you run with it. But if the queen attacks the rook, you stay in the same place. So why are you running from the weaker piece?
