battle of chess

Chess is a game of strategy and tactics for two players, played on an 8x8 chequered board. Although chess sets come in many varieties and colours, the traditional colours are white and black, and that is how we will be referring to the two players on this website. The aim of the game is to trap your opponent's king, which is called Checkmate. A game can also be won if your opponent gives up (in chess, we call this 'resigning'), and there are a variety of ways a game can end in a draw, in which case neither player wins. We'll look at these in more detail later on.
