THE GAME.

The chessboard is made up of 64 squares or “squares”, made up of 8 rows technically called “crosspieces” and 8 columns. At the start of the game it must be oriented so that the square in the lower right corner of the two players is of the same color.

The game of chess is one of the most popular board games which, unlike others, does not only contemplate fun and luck, but also encompasses a set of skills, intelligence and strategy.

The birth of chess dates back to the sixth century, in India, to spread to the West starting from the year 1000. In this passage from one land to another, some substantial transformations of the game took place, changes that brought not only changes to the rules or the way of moving of the essential elements but also to the denomination of the pieces, up to the chessboard as it is known in the contemporary world. .
