Chess is a game between two people, each of which has 16 moving pieces that are placed on a board divided into 64 squares or escapes. In its competition version, 3 is considered a sport.

It is played on a grid of 8 × 8 squares (called escaques), 2 alternated in black and white colors, which constitute the 64 possible positions of the pieces for the development of the game. At the beginning of the game each player has sixteen pieces: a king, a lady, two bishops, two horses, two towers and eight pawns. It is a strategy game in which the objective is to "overthrow" the king of the opponent. This is done by threatening the king's square with any of his own pieces without the other player being able to protect his king by interposing a piece between his king and the piece that threatens him, moving his king to a free escape or capturing the piece that is threatening him, what brings as a result is the checkmate and the end of the game.
