How To Play Chess

Chess is a strategy game that is played between two players on a chequered board. Each player starts with 16 pieces, where the movement of every single piece on the board is governed by specific rules of chess. The primary objective of chess is to attack the opponent’s king in such a manner that the king has no move to escape. This play is also called checkmate. A game of chess ends when one player checkmates his opponent.
