Make sure the Kings line up across from each other. A Rook can move any number of spaces in a straight line from any adjacent space. You are not allowed to castle. The bishop can move diagonally along the apex lines any number of spaces. Diagonal movement is used by following the line from an apex of the pieces current space to the next space. The queen combines the moves of the rook and bishop. Kings may move to any adjacent space or 1 diagonal space. The knight moves the same along adjacent spaces. The pawn moves forward only and captures to the top adjacent spaces. A pawn may not capture diagonally. Pawns still have the initial two-step move option, however, if one of your pawns, captures a piece and occupies a friendly Pawn's starting square, it regains its initial two-step move option. En passant captures are still allowed and Pawns promote when they arrive on one of the eleven opposite most hexes of the board.

About Hexagonal Chess, from BoardGameGeek:

Over the years a number of chess variants have been proposed for boards featuring hexagonally shaped cells (commonly called hexes). The most popular of these is Hexagonal Chess which was invented in 1936 by Wladyslaw Glinski of Poland. David Pritchard says, in the Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, that Glinski's game is played by over half-a-million people, mostly in Eastern Europe. It features a hexagonally-shaped (of course) 3-colour board. Otherwise, it differs from traditional chess in that it has 9 pawns and three bishops--one for each colour. The set-up naturally varies from that of a square board, but beyond that, much of the play is fairly similar.
