Chess is an abstract strategy board game for two players. It is played on a square board of eight rows (called ranks) and eight columns (called files), giving 64 squares of alternating color, light and dark, with each player having a light square at the near-right corner when facing the board. Each player begins the game with 16 pieces which can move in defined directions (and in some instances, limited range) and can remove other pieces from the board: each player's pieces comprise eight pawns, two knights, two bishops, two rooks, one queen and one king. All pieces can remove opponent's pieces by landing on the space they occupy.
The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent; this occurs when the opponent's king is in check, and no move can be made that would prevent it. Chess is one of the world?s most popular games; it has been described not only as a game, but also as an art, science, and sport.
