Chess is a fascinating and strategic game! The basics involve each player starting with 16 pieces, including the king, queen, rooks, bishops, knights, and pawns. The primary aim is to checkmate your opponent's king. Each piece moves differently - for example, rooks move in straight lines, while knights move in an "L" shape. Have you tried playing before, or is this your first time exploring chess? Any specific part of the game you're curious about?
