Chess is the classic board game of strategy where two players battle to checkmate each other’s king. Every piece moves differently, from pawns inching forward to knights jumping in L-shapes and queens controlling long lines. Success depends on both short-term tactics and long-term planning. You can play casually, focusing on simple moves, or try to think several turns ahead to outmaneuver your opponent. In browser form, it’s easy to start a game, practice openings, or just enjoy a quiet mental challenge. It’s perfect for players who appreciate thoughtful, turn-based competition.
