Chess is a game played by two people.
It is played on a board called a chessboard, where 32 pieces of pieces (of six types, including 8 pawns and 8 figures each, for a total of 16 for each player) are set up.
The aim of the game is to give a mate, i.e. to threaten the opponent’s king with removal from further play (“rebuff”), which cannot be avoided.
Games, however, do not always end in a mate – players often give up if they believe that further play will lead to their ultimate defeat.
The rules provide several ways for a game to end in a tie.
In addition to the basic rules for moving the runners, the rules also regulate the equipment used, time control, player behavior and ethics, facilities for disabled players, the recording of moves using chess notation, as well as how to deal with irregularities encountered during the game.
