Introduction

Chess is a classic strategy board game for two players, played on an 8x8 checkered board with 64 squares of alternating colors. The goal of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, a situation in which the king is under immediate threat of capture (check) and cannot escape.

Gameplay

The game begins with each player controlling 16 pieces:

* 1 King

* 1 Queen

* 2 Rooks

* 2 Knights

* 2 Bishops

* 8 Pawns

Players take turns moving one piece at a time, following specific rules for each piece type.

Piece Movements

* King: Can move one square in any direction (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal).

* Queen: The most powerful piece, can move any number of squares along a rank (row), file (column), or diagonal.

* Rook: Can move any number of squares horizontally or vertically.

* Bishop: Can move any number of squares diagonally, remaining on the same color.

* Knight: Moves in an "L" pattern, two squares in one direction and then one square perpendicularly. Can jump over other pieces.

* Pawn: Moves one square forward, except for its initial move where it can move two squares. Captures diagonally forward one square.

Special Moves

* Castling: A special move involving the king and one of the rooks, where the king moves two squares towards a rook, which then hops over the king.

* En Passant: A pawn capture that occurs when an opponent's pawn advances two squares from its starting position and lands beside an opponent's pawn.

* Promotion: If a pawn reaches the opposite side of the board, it can be promoted to any other piece (queen, rook, bishop, or knight) of the same color.

Check and Checkmate

When the king is under immediate threat of capture, it is in "check." The player in check must make a move to remove the threat, either by moving the king, capturing the attacking piece, or blocking the attack. If there is no legal move to remove the check, the king is in "checkmate" and the game is over.

Draw

A game can end in a draw in several ways:

* Stalemate: The player whose turn it is to move has no legal moves, but their king is not in check.

* Insufficient Material: Neither player has enough pieces to checkmate the other.

* Repetition: The same position occurs three times in a row.

* Fifty-move rule: No captures or pawn moves have occurred in the last 50 moves.

Strategy

Chess is a game of strategy and tactics. Key principles include:

* Controlling the center of the board

* Developing pieces early in the game

* Protecting the king

* Planning moves several steps ahead

* Analyzing opponent's moves and anticipating their intentions
