What is standard Chess?
Chess is a two person game that is played on an 8-by-8 chessboard, with thirty-two pieces (sixteen for each player) of six types. Each type of piece moves in a distinct way. The goal of the game is to threaten one's opponent's most valuable piece, the king, with inevitable capture (checkmate).
