Best Answer

The game of Chess begins with two kings on the board, one for each side. Neither side can ever have more than one king on the board, nor can either side ever have fewer than one king on the board. The king is the essence of the game. When one of the kings is checkmated, the game is over.

32 ,16 white and 16 Black I like to think of this as a trick question. There are only 26 "men" on the board. 32 total pieces minus 2 queens and 4 rooks.

There are 16 men in a chess set. This is because the queen is left out (woman), the rook is made out of stone (object), and the horse is an animal (not a man, or woman).
