Chess is a two-player strategy board game where two opponents face off against each other - Black and White teams, named after the colors of their moving pieces. The game takes place on an 8x8 checkered gameboard with alternating squares of contrasting colors. At the start of the game, there are 32 pieces in play, 16 for each team: a king, a queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Players aim to outmaneuver their opponents by putting their king under threat of capture, ultimately leading to checkmate. Chess is played at various levels worldwide - from home games to professional clubs, online platforms, and even mail-based competitions. The International Olympic Committee has also recognized chess as a sport, giving it official recognition on the global stage.
