Chess Board Game

The ever popular two-player strategy board game. A checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an 8x8 grid. Each player begins with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently, with the most powerful being the queen and the least powerful the pawn. The objective is to checkmate the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. Helps to develop:

• Problem solving skills

• Observation and strategy
