chess game

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 by moving one's own piece onto the square it occupies. The object of the game is to "checkmate" the enemy king. There are also several ways a game can end in a draw.
