Master your skills at the game of kings with our interactive online chess course!
Chess - Game of Strategy !
Chess is believed to have originated in India in the 6th century. The oldest known chess pieces were discovered in an archeological site in Afghanistan and are estimated to be over 1,500 years old.
Chess is a two–player board game where each player controls 16 pieces. The goal is to checkmate your opponent’s king by putting it in a position where it cannot move without being captured. Each piece has different rules for how it can move, and the players take turns making moves until one player wins. It is a cordial game that involves two minds competing against one another across 64 squares on a Black & White board.
Chess is a great game for kids of all ages and it can help to develop problem–solving and critical thinking skills. Playing chess can also improve focus and concentration, encourages kids to plan ahead and think strategically. Chess can also be a great way to make friends, as it can be played online against other players or in person with friends.
