Chess, a game and more than a game...!

Today , I bring you one of the most important things in my life : The Chess.

In its general conception , Chess is a Two players strategy game , played on a board , this has 64 squares (32 white and 32 black ) , the dark squares usually soft colors that will not disturb eyes , like a light Green, light Brown. Chess is played by millions of people worldwide.

Each player begins the game with 16 pieces :

One King, One Queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights and eight pawns. The most powerful piece is the queen and the least powerful is the pawn. The objective is to checkmate the opponent's king.

White always starts the game !

As to the board , each square is identified by a letter and a number,

but first , let’s look at the rows and the columns:

The rows are horizontal and are identified by a number. The columns are vertical and are identified by a letter

Then, a square is the union between a row and a columnas, for example:

the square marked in red is identified as "e4"

to identify a piece we write the initial letter of the piece,
So:
The Queen with "Q"
The King with "K"
The Bishop with "B"
The knight with "N"
The Towe with the "T"

For the pawn, we just need to write the name of the square where the pawn is moved

so, a complete movement would be

"Te4", first the letter and after the square.

the game should be noted in algebraic system, It is mandatory to keep score in classic mode

Time Control

Previously, there was no time control games, a game could last a few hours, days, even weeks., for that, it was created the chess clock, there are diffeerents game modes: like : blitz, active and clasical
a blitz game it´s too fast, the limit time is 5 minutes or less for each player.
