What is a Chess Game?

Chess Game, Played by two players on an 8×8 grid board with alternate light and dark squares, chess is a time-honored board game of strategy and cunning. Each player deploys 16 pieces at the beginning of the game, placing them in the rows closest to them. Pawns are arranged on the second row, and the first row is occupied by other pieces. The goal of the game is to advance your pieces to a position from which you can capture the king of your opponent and force a “checkmate,” winning the game for you. Every piece has certain movement rules that players must stick to.
