The game of chess is gradually gaining space in Brazilian schools as a pedagogical resource in the development of cognitive and intellectual skills. In this sense, the objective of this study was to evaluate the teaching and learning of the rules of the game of chess in a municipal school in Guanambi/BA. We opted for field research within a qualitative approach with a sample made up of two classes from the 2nd and 3rd year of elementary school. Data collection was through observation and field diary, and interpreted through content analysis. The results showed the need for teachers to rethink their way of teaching chess rules by paying attention to the number of students per class. A semester with two weekly classes was not enough to master the rules. Finally, it detected that disciplinary, school and family factors prevented at least a quarter of chess classes from being held.
