The Chess Game

Chess is a strategic board game played between two players on an 8x8 grid. Each player controls 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The goal is to checkmate your opponent’s king, meaning the king is under threat of capture with no safe move. Players take turns moving pieces with specific rules, aiming to control the board, develop their pieces, and attack the opponent’s king. Success relies on planning, tactics, and anticipating the opponent’s moves, ultimately leading to checkmate or a draw.
