Chess is a competitive and popular board game often played between two individuals. It can be called both Western and international chess. Chess was played as a competitive sport between Asian and European countries in the nineteenth century. Currently, millions of people all over the world love chess as a game, along with being a mental and intellectual challenge.



Chess is played on a big table with a white and black square on the center. There are two chess pieces on each side of the square. The player who obtains the checkmate move first wins the match. Many different versions of chess exist, but the most famous ones are discussed below.


Classical chess: A version of chess that uses a limited number of allowable moves per turn. The player may only make one move per turn. An individual can obtain the maximum of three permissible moves by carefully arranging the chess pieces. The object is to arrange them so that one player has a clear advantage over another player.


Two-man chess: In this version, two players sit opposite each other on the chessboard and alternately assess their bits. This is considered to be an advanced game, and is only suggested for expert level players.


Three-way chess: In this variation, the tow players sit opposite each other. Once each player has made a move, the remaining pieces are covered by their own pieces. The player with the largest number of pieces on the table is the winner, and others play in a playoff. Three-way chess is played with 64 squares, and it's considered much simpler than the other versions.


Four-way chess: In this variant of chess, one player sits opposite two other players and alternately assess their bits. When a bit on one side is removed from the board, another player immediately makes a move, and another player immediately makes a move if they have a bit on their other hand. This is considered an advanced game, and is only recommended for expert level players. In a four player game, there are two major chess pieces: the Rook and the Queen. If one of these pieces are removed from the board, then the entire game comes to an end.


Mate in four: The most uncommon way to play chess is to have one player stand off against three players, leaving two additional players around the board. Both players who stand off will form a triangle and form a perfect square with the corner of the opponent's square. Both players in the ends of the triangle aren't protected by any significant chess piece, and neither are the two at the front. The player on the left has to make sure that he has a strong piece like the Rook or the Queen to protect the back row. If he does not have a powerful piece, then the rest of his row will be unprotected, and he should defend them with either the Rook or the Queen.


After the first player has moved all his pieces into position, the other player may now move any of their pieces into position to threaten the possibility of a checkmate. Players must leave just enough space between themselves and their opponent for them to be able to move their pieces into another column.
