<h1>The Game of Chess - Your Most Known Brain Teaser<h1>

Chess is the most well-known tabletop game of all time. For centuries, it has been enjoyed
and played all over the world, and it has recently inspired one of the most popular Netflix
series: The Queen's Gambit.

We are frequently taught how to play chess as kids, but some of us haven't played in a long
time. Beginners and experienced players are welcomed in the game of chess.

<h2>A Quick Guide and Basic Rules on How to Play Chess<h2>

Here is the beginner-friendly guide on how to play chess, whether you've recently
rediscovered the game or are sitting down to play for the first time. From where to position
the queen during preparation to when to call "checkmate" and declare victory, this guide
covers all you need to know about chess:

- The chessboard is set up at the start of the game such that each player has the white
(or light) color square in the bottom right-hand corner. Each time, the chess pieces
are positioned in the same way.
- Each of the six types of pieces moves in a unique way. Pieces can't go through other
pieces, and they can't move into a square occupied by one of their own. They can,
however, be moved to replace an opponent's piece, which can then be taken. The
majority of the time, pieces are pushed into squares where they can trap other
pieces.

- The attacking player usually announces "check" when a piece moves in a way that
allows them to capture the opponent's king on their next round. On their next turn,
the player who is under check must move their king or another piece to stop the
assault, either by blocking the move or trapping the attacking piece. If a player sets a
position in which their opponent's king is captured on the following turn, the
assaulting player says "checkmate" and wins the game instantly. A chess game is
won when a successful checkmate is announced; the king is never captured.

- A player might also decide to withdraw, handing the game over to their opponent.
Matches can also finish in a draw if a stalemate happens, leaving a player with no
legal moves, or if no player can win using legal moves available, a condition known as
a "dead position." When both players are left with their king as their sole surviving
piece on the board, this is known as a dead situation.
