Chess is a timeless game of strategy and skill that has been enjoyed for centuries. The game is played on a checkered board with 64 squares and each player starts with 16 pieces, including pawns, rooks, knights, bishops, a queen, and a king. The ultimate goal of chess is to checkmate the opponent's king, meaning the king is under attack and cannot escape capture. Players take turns moving their pieces across the board, using strategic maneuvers to capture their opponent's pieces and protect their own. With its rich history and endless possibilities for play, chess is a game that challenges players of all ages and skill levels.
