Classic chess

Classic chess is a two—player board game played on a chessboard with 64 squares arranged in rows of 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 in imminent danger of capture.

The game can be played with artificial intelligence or together with another person on the same device. Also in the game there is the possibility of solving chess problems.

In classical chess there are sixteen pieces (six different types).

1. King — moves from his field to one of the free adjacent fields, which is not under the impact of the opponent's pieces.

2. Queen (queen) — can move to any number of free fields in any direction in a straight line, combining the capabilities of a rook and a bishop.

3. Rook — can move to any number of fields horizontally or vertically, provided that there are no pieces in its path.

4. Elephant — can move to any number of fields diagonally, provided that there are no figures in its path.

5. Knight — moves two cells vertically and then one cell horizontally, or vice versa, two cells horizontally and one cell vertically.

6. Pawn — moves one square forward only, except for taking.

The ultimate goal of each player is to checkmate his opponent. This means that the opponent's king gets into a situation in which capture is inevitable.
