Basic Overview


CHESS!

Chess is a two-player strategy game played on a checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an 8x8 grid. The game is believed to have originated in ancient India around the 6th century AD and has since spread to become one of the most popular and widely-played board games in the world.

The game is played with 16 pieces per player, consisting of one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each piece has its own unique moves and abilities, and players take turns moving their pieces across the board with the goal of capturing the opponent's pieces and ultimately checkmating their opponent's king.

Chess is a game that requires a combination of strategic thinking, tactical prowess, and deep analysis. It is often used as a tool for improving cognitive skills such as memory, concentration, and problem-solving, and is enjoyed by players of all ages and skill levels around the world.
