Chess

Introduction

Chess is an abstract strategy game and involves no hidden information. It is played on a square chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the start, each player (one controlling the white pieces, the other controlling the black pieces) controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way for it to escape. There are also several ways a game can end in a draw.

New to Chess? Let’s learn the board and pieces

In Chess, the checkered board is divided into two sides so that every player places their Chess Pieces on squares closest to them. Each player starts the game when they have sixteen pieces on their side comprised of one King, one Queen, two Rooks, two Bishops, two Knights and eight Pawns.

King

In Chess, the objective of the game is to “get” the other player’s king, making him the most important piece! Even so, he moves “slowly”—taking only one step at a time and then pausing to think. The King needs time to think because he is responsible for the entire Kingdom!

Queen

The Queen is the strongest and most powerful piece in the Kingdom! She’s fast, and active and can do just about anything she wants! The Queen does everything quickly and decisively as she protects the King.

Rook

Other than the queen, the Rook is the most powerful and direct of the other pieces. The Rook looks a lot like a castle and travels in straight lines (Ranks and Files).

Knights

A knight is a piece in the game of chess that is traditionally shaped like a horse. Each player begins the chess game with two knights. A chess knight has a value of three points, which makes it the same in relative value as a bishop.
