Each player begins the game with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently. The most powerful piece is the queen and the least powerful piece is the pawn. The objective is to 'checkmate' the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. To this end, a player's pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's pieces, while supporting their own. In addition to checkmate, the game can be won by voluntary resignation by the opponent, which typically occurs when too much material is lost, or if checkmate appears unavoidable. A game may also result in a draw in several ways.

Chess, the free strategy game, is believed to have originated in India. the rules of the free strategy game were finally standardized in the 19th century. The first generally recognized World Chess Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, claimed his title in 1886.

Once in every game, in this free strategy game, each king is allowed to make a special move, known as castling. Castling consists of moving the king two squares along the first rank toward a rook (which is on the player's first rank and then placing the rook on the last square the king has just crossed. Castling is permissible under the following conditions:

Neither the king nor the rook may have been previously moved during the game.

There must be no pieces between the king and the rook.

The king may not be in check, nor may the king pass through squares that are under attack by enemy pieces, nor move to a square where it is in check.

Note that castling is permissible if the rook is attacked, or if the rook crosses a square that is attacked.
