Chess is considered one of the world's oldest strategy games. It is presumed that chess was invented 4,000 years ago in India and Persia, and then spread throughout the world. Modern chess, as we know it today, is around 2,000 years old. It is one of the world's most popular games.

Chess is an exciting game of strategy for two people. It is played with a black-and-white 8x8-square board and wooden pieces. The design of wooden chess pieces is now codified and approved by the International Chess Federation. The Staunton design is the most widespread: conceived by Nathaniel Cooke and approved by English chess player Howard Staunton in 1849.

Although the aim of chess is simple (to check the king), it is also highly complex and subtle.
