In order to be able to play this game we need a chessboard or chesstable.There´re 64 squares,equally divided in black and white colours.Today we can see different colours.

Let´s start with a pawn,which at the begining of the game first move could be two squares at the time,but after that just one.So it moves only forward and kills diagonally.

Bishop-moves diagonally forward and back and kills the same way.

Knight-moves like "L" shape

Queen-may be the most powerful piece.Can move like any piece,except a Knight

Rook/Castle-move forward and back and side by side.

King is the weakest piece,but he is a target.So the aim of the game is mate the king.

Or

How to cook Spanish Omelette.

Ingredients: 1-onion,4 or 5 eggs, 4 or 5 potatoes and olive oil.

Chop an onion and cut the potatoes into small pieces and put them into frying pan.Then pour the olive oil the way that it can cover the potatoes and an onion.And let it fry for 25-30 minutes.Then we need to put out the oil as much as we can,so we can keep them dry.After that we have to mash the potatoes and an onion.A part of that in the bowl we whip the eggs, and then put the potatoes and an onion into bowl and stir it. One more time we pour oil into pan and put the mix into it and fry the omelette.until is ready to be served.
