Chess-The Mind game
It is played on a square board, comprised of 64 more modest squares, with eight squares in each line and segment. Every player begins with sixteen pieces: eight pawns, two knights, two ministers, two rooks, one sovereign and one ruler. The objective of the game is for every player to attempt to checkmate the lord of the rival.
Players take turns moving their pieces according to specific rules:
- Pawns move forward but capture diagonally.
- Knights move in an L-shape.
- Bishops move diagonally any number of squares.
- Rooks move horizontally or vertically any number of squares.
- Queens combine the powers of rooks and bishops.
- Kings move one square in any direction.
The board should continuously be put so every player has a light hued square in their base right hand corner. Putting the load up the incorrect way round is an exceptionally normal misstep – even Programs fail to understand the situation once in a while. When you have the board the correct way round, you’re prepared to begin adding the pieces. Every player’s pieces start on the main position (in chess, we call level lines ‘positions’) on that player’s side of the board.
Chess is renowned for its depth and complexity, with countless possible combinations of moves and positions. It has a rich history spanning over a millennium and is played competitively, recreationally, and even studied academically for its cognitive and strategic benefits.
