A small trivia drop for Classic Chess: Chess changed dramatically in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries when the queen became the board's most powerful piece. The same trail leads to another fact: Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. So a round of Classic Chess is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer strategy games timeline.
Classic chess is a two-player board game played on a chessboard with 64 squares arranged in rows on an 8x8 grid. Each player starts with 16 pieces: including a king, one queen, two knights, two rooks, two bishops and eight pawns. The goal of this chess game is to checkmate the opponent's king, putting him under the imminent threat of capture. The game can be played with artificial intelligence, together with another person on the same device, as well as with a rival on the network in multiplayer mode. Also in the game there is the possibility of solving chess problems. Classical chess has sixteen pieces (six different types). 1. King - moves from his field to one of the free adjacent fields, which is not under attack by the opponent's pieces. 2. Queen (queen) - can move to any number of free squares in any direction in a straight line, combining the capabilities of a rook and a bishop. 3. Rook - can move any number of squares horizontally or vertically, provided that there are no pieces in its path. 4. Bishop - can move to any number of squares diagonally, provided that there are no pieces on its way. 5. Knight - moves two squares vertically and then one square horizontally, or vice versa, two squares horizontally and one square vertically. 6. Pawn - moves forward one space only, except for capture. The ultimate goal of each player is to checkmate their opponent. This means that the opponent's king gets into a situation in which a capture is inevitable.
