The game of chess is a two-player game played on a checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. Each player starts with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The goal of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, which means the king is under attack and cannot be saved. The game progresses by alternately moving pieces one at a time according to rules that limit how the pieces can move. Generally, the pieces move forward and left or right, with the exception of knights that can jump over other pieces. The rooks can move in a straight line either horizontally or vertically, and make captures along the way. The bishops can move diagonally in any direction, making captures. The queen can move in either direction along any of the 8 ranks and files of the board. The king can move in any direction, but only one square at a time. The pawns can move forward one square, but can capture an enemy piece only by moving one square diagonally.
