The Game of Chess
Chess is a board game that has a playing surface consisting of 64 light and dark colored squares set in an alternating pattern, and arranged in eight horizontal rows and eight vertical rows. The chess opponent’s designation is by the color of the pieces they play with, either white or black—no matter the colors of the set in use. The opponents sit opposite of one another with the board between them. Each chess player has an army consisting of 16 chessmen; one of these armies will be a light color for white side and the other will be a dark color for black side. The white player always has the first move and all the moves must be in accordance with the rules of the game. The object of the game is to capture the opposing king; however, chess games can end in a draw when neither side can force a capture (Chess, 1993).

Blunderprone: Thank you for stopping by. I greatly appreciate your help on this subject. Sorry for my tardy reply. As you can guess, college studies take as much time as chess studies. Hope to see you soon.
Chess dreamer: I believe Samurai Knight is your best bet to join the group. Good Luck!
