Chess is a game where you can exercise your intelligence.

The best material for making chess pieces would be ivory, but ivory is more expensive to make, and nowadays wooden ones are used instead in professional tournaments.

And the feel of wood is the closest to ivory.

Nowadays you can also find crystal, glass, horn, including various metals on the market.

Beginners usually use plastic chess pieces because of the lower price.

As for the chess board, it is usually made of the same material as the pieces.

There are different pieces on chess, each with different names and different paths of movement on the board.

1. King is the most important piece in chess, the game is lost when the king is killed.

The move is both horizontal and diagonal, but only one square at a time, and the position to which it is moved must not be threatened by the opponent's piece.

Otherwise it will be considered an "illegal move".

2. The queen is the strongest piece in a chess game.

The queen can move horizontally, vertically and diagonally, and on an unlimited number of squares.

The move is the same as the capture.

The queen is as strong as two rooks or three bishops in the opening and middle game, and slightly less strong than two rooks in the endgame.

A queen is often the decisive force in a game, and the loss of a queen often means the game is lost, and the player who loses the queen will usually throw in the towel and admit defeat.

3. The rook is one of the pieces of chess.

A rook is called a rook because it moves in the same way as a Chinese chess rook, but the shape of the piece is the same as a castle, so it is also called a castle.

In the chess game, "R" stands for rook.

A rook can move horizontally or straight, with no restriction on the number of squares, and cannot move diagonally.

The rook can move horizontally or straight, with no restrictions on the number of squares.

The king and rook have a special way of moving, called "king-rook transposition".

4. The bishop is a type of chess piece.

The bishop may only move diagonally, on any number of squares, but may not turn.

The bishop of a white square may appear only on the white square, and the bishop of a black square may appear only on the black square.

Eating and moving are the same.

5. Knight is a type of chess piece.

The move of a knight is the same as in Chinese chess.

It is also a "day" move, or an "L" move in English capital letters: i.e. 1 square to the left (or right), then 2 squares up (or down).

Or 2 squares to the left (or right), then 1 square up (or down).

6. Pawn is the weakest and most numerous piece in chess.

The way a pawn moves is that it can move one or two squares forward on the first move, and then only one square forward at a time, not backward.

However, when you eat the opponent's piece, you go to the square that is diagonally in front of you and land on that square.

Professional chess players are used to review the game.

By review, we mean that after the game is finished, we review the record of the game to check the strengths and weaknesses of the moves and the key to successes and failures, which can improve the player's ability.
