Chess is a two-player abstract strategy board game where players move different types of pieces (pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, queen, and king) across a chequered board. The goal is to checkmate the opponent's king, which means putting it in a position where it cannot escape capture.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Players: Two players, traditionally called White and Black.
Board: A square board with 64 squares arranged in an 8x8 grid.
Pieces: Each player starts with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns.
Movement: Each piece has a unique movement pattern (e.g., pawns move forward, knights move in an "L" shape, etc.).
Capture: A piece is captured when another piece lands on its square.
Checkmate: The game is won when the opponent's king is in check (threatened with capture) and there's no way to get it out of danger.
Draw: A game can also end in a draw under certain conditions, such as if there are no more possible moves for either
player.
