If you are a first time visitor to /r/chess be sure to check the **[FAQ](http://reddit.com/r/chess/wiki/FAQ)**  in the sidebar. Your question may have already been answered. If you are asking about a specific rule like stalemate or *en passant*, the rules of chess can also be found in the FAQ. /r/chess is about the game of chess rather than the equipment, so pics of chess sets, tables, and missing piece searches etc. should be posted elsewhere.

If you are posting one of your own games, include your own annotations. Games posted without annotations may be removed.
