The Rich History of Chess

Chess is a two-player game with a colorful history, tracing its origins back to its Indian ancestor, Chaturanga. Its strategic depth has captivated minds for centuries, even causing the Archbishop of Canterbury in England to threaten clergy who played Chess with a diet of bread and water in 1291! The game has since flourished, becoming one of the most popular board games worldwide, demanding thought, skill, and intricate strategy to achieve success.

Game Objective

The ultimate objective in Chess is to capture your opponent's King. To do this, you must place the King in "check." If the King cannot escape the check on its own, or with the help of its army, it is in "checkmate," and the King is captured, resulting in your victory.
