The Chess Game

As I said, let's talk about board but not in a bored way. Board talk by means of all about board game. Actually, i don't have enough knowledge about this type of game, so why i choose this game? my answer, is of course I want to know more about board games, the rules, the strategies and for me, if a person want to challenge his/her own thinking and strategic skills, try to play a board game.

As I mentioned above, I want to know more about this game. And, one of the most popular or should I say best board game that I played so far is the CHESS GAME. I know on myself that I don't have a good strategic thinking but I always practice this game and as time goes by, I can say that I can handle this game not perfectly but proudly. And to know more about this game,I'll try to give some information about chess. Let's start.

Chess, a strategy board game played on a chessboard. I know that all of us are familiar on a chessboard, it consists of 32 black squared tiles and 32 white squared tiles. It has a total of 64 tiles in eight by eight position and place alternately. Chess is said to believed originated in eastern india on 6th century. So, if we think deeply, chess have been played more than a hundred or thousand years,so it's never been shocked if the chess game have been popular for years.

THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR MOVES:
1.Pawn- the first eight in front are the pawns. Their moves are just vertical but can be adjacent to the space in front of them. Pawns cannot move backwards, at first they can be move along two tiles and after that just a single move only.
2. Rook- it looks like tower of a castle, it can be move horizontally, vertically but not diagonally. When castling has been made, it moved together with the king.
3. Knight/Horse- it has an L move, simply, it moves to square horizontally and one square vertically.
4. Bishop- it moves diagonally in any direction but it is according to the color of the square on where it stands.
5. The Queen- on my opinion, i think the queen is the second powerful piece on a chess game, because it can be move vertically, diagonally, and horizontally.
6. The King- this piece is the most protected on a chess game why? because once the king is dead the game will be over. The king can be moved like the queen but just one square only unlike the queen that can be moved with a long direction.

THE GAME:
As the game started, player move the pawn but not always because some players try to move the knight. On what we called pawn promotion, it goes like this, as pawn moved from the opponents direction and once it reached the last line of the square tiles of the game it can be promoted to any highest ranking like queen, rook, bishop or knight. As the game flow, each player must click on the desired timer after their turns. CHECK - this word is for the king because once a king is in check it is under attack by one or more enemy pieces. The player must remove his king to any direction and cannot be moved any piece until the king is check.
CHECKMATE- once  a king has no escape, it is checkmate so it means the game is over because there is no possible move for the kings to b moved away from the opponent.


The information above are just my few knowledge about chess, I'm not a professional chess player but I know a little basic strategies about playing this board game. I guess I needed a long time to learn more about chess to achieve a perfect move that will easily checkmate my opponent. I hope that I'd help you in a little way by sharing some of my opinions about chess. Thank you!!
