Origin Of Chess

The history of chess spans some 1500 years.

The earliest predecessors of the game originated in

India,before the 6th century AD. From India, the game

spread to Persia.When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up

by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to

Southern Europe.

In Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the

15th century

In the second half of the 19th century, modern chess

tournament play began, and the first world Chess

Championship was held in 1886.

The King

In chess, the king (, ) is themost important piece. The objectof the game is to trap theopponent's king so that its escape

is not possible (checkmate). If aplayer's king is threatened withcapture, it is said to be in check,and the player must remove thethreat of capture on the nextmove. If this cannot be done, the

king is said to be in checkmate.Although the king is the mostimportant piece, it is usually theweakest piece in the game until alater phase, the endgame.

The queen (,) is the most powerful piece in

the game of chess, able to move any number of

squares vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

Each player starts the game with one queen,

placed in the middle of the first rank next to the

king. With the chessboard oriented correctly, the

white queen starts on a white square and the

black queen on a black square.

Rook

The rook participates with the king, in aspecial move called castling. Ingeneral, rooks are stronger thanbishops or knights (which are called

minor pieces) and are consideredgreater in value than either of thosepieces by nearly two pawns but lessvaluable than two minor pieces. Tworooks are generally considered to beworth slightly more than a queen.Winning a rook for a bishop or knight isreferred to as winning the exchange.Rooks and queens are called heavypiecesor major pieces, as opposed tobishops and knights, the minor pieces.


10/14



Bishop

The bishop has no restrictions in distance

for each move, but is limited to diagonal

movement. Bishops, like all other pieces

except the knight, cannot jump over other

pieces. A bishop captures by occupying the

square on which an enemy piece sits. The

bishops may be differentiated according to

which wing they begin on,the king's bishop

and queen's bishop. As a consequence of

its diagonal movement, each bishop always

remains on either the white or black

squares, and so it is also common to refer to

them as light squared or dark squared


11/14



knight

The knightmove is unusual among chesspieces. When it moves, it can move twosquares horizontally and one squarevertically, or two squares vertically and onesquare horizontally. The complete movetherefore looks like the letter 'L'. Unlike all

other standard chess pieces, the knight can'jump over' all other pieces to its destinationsquare. It captures an enemy piece bymoving into its square. The knight's abilityto 'jump over' other pieces means it tendsto be at its most powerful in closed

positions, in contrast to that of a bishop.The move is one of the longest-survivingmoves in chess, having remainedunchanged since before the seventhcentury.


12/14



pawn

The pawn() is the most numerous andweakest piece in the game of chess,historically representing infantry, or moreparticularly armed peasants or pikemen.Each player begins the game with eightpawns, one on each square of the rank

immediately in front of the other pieces.Unlike the other pieces, pawns may notmove backwards. Normally a pawn movesby advancing a single square, but the firsttime a pawn is moved, it has the option ofadvancing two squares. Pawns may not

use the initial two-square advance to jumpover an occupied square, or to capture.Any piece directly in front of a pawn, friendor foe, blocks its advance.

A game clock consists of two adjacent clocks andbuttons to stop one clock while starting the other,such that the two component clocks never runsimultaneously. Game clocks are used in two-

player games where the players move in turn.The purpose is to keep track of the total timeeach player takes for his or her own moves, andensure that neither player overly delays thegame. Game clocks were first used extensively intournament chess, and are often called chessclocks. The first time that game clocks were

used in a chess tournament was in the London1883 tournament.
