Chess is a two-player strategy board game that is played on an 8x8 grid called a chessboard. Each player controls an army of 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The objective of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, which means putting it under threat of capture in such a way that it cannot escape.
