Classic chess is a strategic two-player board game played on an 8×8 grid comprising 64 squares. Each player begins with a set of 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. The primary objective is to checkmate your opponent’s king—placing it under direct threat of capture with no legal moves to escape. The game can be enjoyed against a computer opponent powered by artificial intelligence or played locally with another person on the same device. Additionally, the game offers features to solve various chess puzzles.
