Chess is a classic two-player strategy board game played on an 8×8 grid. Each player commands an army of 16 pieces: pawns, rooks, knights, bishops, a queen, and a king. The goal is to checkmate the opponent’s king—trapping it with no legal escape. Players take turns moving one piece at a time, using logic, tactics, and long-term planning. Each piece moves differently, creating endless possibilities and deep strategic gameplay. With its rich history, timeless rules, and competitive appeal, chess is both a mental challenge and a test of patience and foresight, perfect for players of all skill levels.
