synonymchess game
What is "chess"?

Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on an 8x8 grid, where each player starts with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The objective is to checkmate the opponent’s king, meaning the king is in a position where it cannot escape capture. Each type of piece moves in specific ways: the king moves one square in any direction, the queen moves in any number of squares along a row, column, or diagonal, and the other pieces have their own unique movements. Players take turns moving their pieces, with the game requiring both tactical planning and strategy. The game ends when one player checkmates the other’s king, or a draw is declared.
