Chess: Classic Board Game 1.5.2

Chess is a well-known two-player strategy board game played on an 8×8 grid. It has gained immense popularity worldwide, with millions of players engaging in matches at home, in clubs, or in tournaments.

Not only does Chess provide a leisurely experience, but it also exercises the brain by enhancing tactical ability, critical thinking, and memory skills. This classic board game can be played for free and offline, making it accessible for players of all ages and skill levels.

In Chess, each player begins with 16 pieces, including a king, queen, rooks, knights, bishops, and pawns. These pieces have specific movement rules, with the queen being the most powerful and the pawn being the least powerful. The objective of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, which means placing it under an inescapable threat of capture.

A game of Chess can also be won through voluntary resignation or end in a draw under certain circumstances. Unlike games of chance, Chess is purely based on tactics and strategy, allowing players to sharpen their thinking and creativity.

To familiarize yourself with how each piece moves:

• The Pawn moves one square forward or two squares on its first move and captures diagonally in front of it.
• The Rook moves horizontally or vertically to any position on the board.
• The Bishop moves diagonally to squares of the same color.
• The Knight moves in an L-shape pattern and can jump over other pieces.
• The Queen is the most versatile piece as it can move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to any position.
• The King moves one space in any direction but must avoid moving into check.

In Chess, capturing an opponent's piece involves moving the attacking piece to that square and removing the captured piece from the board. If a player's king is in check, they must make a move to get out of check. Failure to do so results in checkmate and a loss.
