Chess is a classic two-player strategy board game played on an 8×8 grid called a chessboard. Each player begins with 16 pieces:

• 1 King

• 1 Queen

• 2 Rooks

• 2 Bishops

• 2 Knights

• 8 Pawns

Objective:

The goal is to checkmate your opponent’s king, meaning the king is under threat of capture (in check) and there is no legal move to escape.

Basic Rules:

• Each type of piece moves differently:

  • King: one square in any direction

  • Queen: any number of squares in any direction

  • Rook: any number of squares vertically or horizontally

  • Bishop: any number of squares diagonally

  • Knight: moves in an “L” shape (2 squares one direction, 1 square perpendicular)

  • Pawn: moves forward one square (or two on its first move); captures diagonally

• Special rules include castling, en passant, and pawn promotion.
