#### Learn [Standard Chess rules](https://www.chess.com/learn-how-to-play-chess).

## Make a Game Session

* Navigate Git Bash terminal into your Git-Started folder.
* Write commands:

  ```bash
  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ mkdir "Playground/Multiplayer/Chess/YourName vs OpponentsName"
  $ cp -i "Games/Multiplayer/Chess.md" "Playground/Multiplayer/Chess/YourName vs OpponentsName/Game Number.md"
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Game start"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session
  ```

## Play the Game

* Navigate through the Playground folder and find your *Game Number.md* file.
* Open the file by right-clicking and choosing to open with a text editor. I highly recommend [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/) for this purpose.
* **First players FIRST turn:**

  ```bash
  $ git checkout Game-Session
  # Makes a move and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "White Move"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session
  ```
* **Second players FIRST turn:**

  ```bash
  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Makes a move and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Black Move"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session
  ```
* **Other turns:**

  ```bash
  $ git checkout Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Makes a move and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "White/Black Move"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session
  ```

## FULL EXAMPLE:

* Joseph (white player) and Mathew (black player) are playing against each other their first game.

  ```bash
  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ mkdir "Playground/Multiplayer/Chess/Joseph vs Mathew"
  $ cp -i "Games/Multiplayer/Chess.md" "Playground/Multiplayer/Chess/Joseph vs Mathew/Game 1.md"
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Game start"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session
  ```
* Josephs FIRST turn:

  ```bash
  $ git checkout Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" with a text editor.
  # Moves his pawn from e2 to e4 and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "White e4"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session
  ```
* Mathews FIRST turn:

  ```bash
  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" with a text editor.
  # Moves his pawn from d3 to d5 and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Black d5"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session
  ```
* Josephs SECOND turn:

  ```bash
  $ git checkout Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" with a text editor.
  # Eats a pawn on d5, copies him on the black graveyard and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "White xd5"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session
  ```
* Mathews SECOND turn:

  ```bash
  $ git checkout Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" with a text editor.
  # Heroically moves his pawn from e3 to e4 to avenge his fellow and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Black e5"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session
  ```
* And so on.

{% hint style="info" %}
When commiting a message make sure to [describe your move](http://blog.chesshouse.com/how-to-read-and-write-algebraic-chess-notation/). If you don't feel like using the official move notation, just write something like "White K f3-f4" *(white moved King from f3 to f4)*
