Answer 2

Chess is a two-player strategy game played on an 8x8 grid board. Each player has 16 pieces, including a king, queen, rooks, knights, bishops, and pawns. The objective is to checkmate your opponent's king, which means the king is in a position to be captured with no legal moves to escape. Players take turns moving their pieces according to specific rules until the game is won, lost, or drawn.
