Overview

Chess is a board game that involves each player with 16 pieces, one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The pieces are divided into white and black sets where each of the six piece moves differently. The ultimate goal of the game is to threaten the opponent's king which is called, "checkmate".
