TSR, Inc , pp. Boyd September The chessboard was a type of checkerboard that consisted of 64 squares eight rows and eight columns arranged in two alternating colours light and dark. The colours were called "black" and "white" or "light" and "dark". The Chess pieces, or chessmen, consisted of one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns.

Players moved their pieces by speaking the name of the piece and the square it was to move to by algebraic notation. For example, "Knight to E5". Aside from the self-moving pieces, the rules of Wizard's Chess were exactly the same as Muggle chess.

The moving pieces seemed to be reasonably sentient, as seen when Harry Potter began learning how to play the game, he used Seamus Finnigan 's pieces, which offered him conflicting advice because they knew that he was not a good or experienced player.

Ronald Weasley owned a Wizard's Chess set which he inherited from his grandfather. Unlike many of his hand-me-downs possessions, the second-hand chess set was advantageous as the pieces trusted him. When Harry Potter played with Seamus Finnigan 's chess men, they did not trust his judgement and offered him advice.

During the Christmas Feast in the — school year , Harry obtained his very own Wizard's Chess set in a number of Wizard Crackers , among other things. He later broke it in by losing, once again, to Ron although Harry saw this more as the fault of Ron's brother, Percy Weasley , who stood over his shoulder and gave him advice.
