Chess is a board game for two players, called White and Black, each

controlling an army of chess pieces in their color, with the objective


to checkmate the opponent's king.

Chess is an abstract strategy game that involves no hidden information and


no use of dice or cards. It is played on a chessboard with 64 squares
arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the start, each player controls
sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and
eight pawns. White moves first, followed by Black. Checkmating the
opponent's king involves putting the king under immediate attack (in "check")
whereby there is no way for it to escape. Checkmate means to check an
opponent’s king where escape is impossible. There are also several ways a
game can end, it can be stalemate and insufficient material where both is
considered as draw.

Next is, how to move the pieces

So, to start let’s meet the The King, even though the king is most important
piece in chess it isn’t the most powerful piece it can only move one square at
a time in any direction.

The King might be the most important piece in chess. But, the Queen is by far
the most powerful piece in the game. It can move in any direction as far as
she wants.

After the Queen, the rook is the second most powerful piece. It can only move
sideward and backward as far as it wants.

The Bishop, is one of the most interesting piece in chess because it can move
as far as it wants but, only on diagonals. The bishops are called light and dark
squared bishops depends on their square color position.

Next, the Knight unlike any other pieces its movement is the most unique it
moves in a strange “L” shape, one square and one diagonal or vice-versa to
be specific. And it is the only piece that can move over other pieces.

Lastly, the Pawns seems like the weakest piece but, working together pawns
are strong and in fact, Pawns are most strongest piece in the endgame.
Pawns can only move straightforward and one square at a time, however, on
its starting position it can move 2 squares or one square at a time.
