Where can one find information about chess game rules?

Chess is a complex board game utilizing various numbers of individual playing pieces, which move in various ways on an 8x8 square grid. The basic form is a two-player game using alternating single turns, in which the object is to attack the main piece ("King") of one's opponent while protecting one's own King from attack. The game may end in victory for either player, or as a "draw", or tied game, in which neither is victorious. Strategy is involved in movement and positions, and removal of opposing pieces by occupying the squares they inhabit. Attacking the opponent "King" so that it cannot be removed from attack is "checkmate" (from the Arabic "shah mat" : "the king is dead"), the only way in which a game can be won except through resignation. Tournament play also involves clock timing to allow equal contemplation by opponents, while still establishing a finite period for the completion of games and the competition as a whole. The complete rules are too lengthy for enumeration here. (See the indicated links.)
