Features Chess Game

Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a chessboard, a checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid.
Chess is played by millions of people worldwide, both amateurs and professionals.Each player begins the game with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns.
Each of the six piece types moves differently.
The most powerful piece is the queen and the least powerful piece is the pawn.
The objective is to 'checkmate' the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture.
To this end, a player's pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's pieces, while supporting their own.
In addition to checkmate, the game can be won by voluntary resignation by the opponent, which typically occurs when too much material is lost, or if checkmate appears unavoidable.
A game may also result in a draw in several ways.
