moves
In chess, a "move" is when a player changes the position of a piece on the board following specific rules. Each turn, a player selects one piece and moves it to a new spot, aiming to improve their position or threaten their opponent. The goal is to put the opponent’s king under threat without escape—called checkmate. Moves can involve advancing, capturing an opponent’s piece, or repositioning for strategic advantage. Understanding moves helps in planning, predicting an opponent’s actions, and working towards winning the game.
