Also known as chess game, international chess, modern European chess, Western chess

Chess is a board game for two players, played on a square board consisting of 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The players, referred to as "White" and "Black", each control sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns, with each piece type having a different pattern of movement. An enemy piece may be captured (removed from the board) by moving one's own piece onto the square it occupies. The object of the game is to "checkmate" (threaten with inescapable capture) the enemy king. There are also several ways a game can end in a draw.

AI overview

Chess is a two-player board game where each player controls sixteen pieces of different types on a 64-square board, with each piece type moving in a distinct pattern. The goal is to checkmate your opponent's king—putting it in a position where it faces unavoidable capture—though games can also end in draws.
