Chess is a two-player board game played on a chessboard, a square-checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. Each player begins the game with sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove or defend it from attack on the next move.

Another thing that I like about chess.com are all the features to help you improve your gameplay like the "Tactics Trainer" and the "Chess Mentor". Chess.com also has a daily puzzle everyday for you to solve. My truly favorite thing about chess.com is that you can play correspondence chess, or live chess. If you are a busy person, then you can play correspondence chess (days per move). However, if you like playing games that you can finish in one sitting, you can also play Live Chess. Hope this helped! ~ Max
