Step 4Consider your first moves

The white player moves first. Options include moving a pawn forward either one or two spaces (see Step 6) or moving a knight out. Black then moves; play alternates between the two. It's often helpful to move pawns out of the way as soon as possible to get the more powerful pieces into play.
