Chess – A strategic game

Chess is a theoretical strategic game and includes no secret information. It is played on a square chessboard with 64 squares masterminded in an eight-by-eight framework. Toward the beginning, every player (one controlling the white pieces, the other controlling the dark pieces) controls sixteen pieces: one king one queen, two rooks, two knights, two priests, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent’s king, whereby the king is under prompt attack (in line”) and its absolutely impossible to eliminate it from attack on the next move. There are likewise a few different ways a game can end in a draw. With Chess being famous from 15th century it is now considered to be a fine game for geniuses.
