Sources and original explanations
Standard rules are checked against the FIDE Laws of Chess. Other educational references, including Chess.com and Lichess, are linked where relevant. References support factual checking and further study; they do not imply a partnership or endorsement.
We write our own explanations and practice prompts. We do not reuse another site’s article text, illustrations, or annotated historical games. A further-reading link is a reference, not a substitute for checking a position.
Examples and scope
Some examples show a complete position; others describe only a few pieces to explain movement. A fragment cannot establish every legal move or the full evaluation. Check king safety and the remaining pieces before applying it to a game.
Our standard-chess guides describe Classic rules. Dice Arena, Card Duel, and Evolution have their own additional rules. An exercise does not promise a rating increase or a guaranteed result.
Publication dates and updates
Each guide shows its publication date and, when revised, its update date. We update the date when its explanation, answers, or examples change. We do not change dates simply to make a guide appear newer.
Report a correction
If you notice an error, email support@chesswitch.com with the guide’s URL, section title, and the position or move sequence involved. Include whose turn it is and, for en passant or castling questions, the relevant move history.
We can check a specific position more reliably than a result alone. Questions and corrections are welcome. The publisher and contact details are listed on the About page.
