summary
Chess is a two-player board game played on a checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. Each player begins with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Chess originated in India in the 7th century, and the modern rules were established in Europe by the end of the 15th century.
