Chess playing

playing chess

Chess is perhaps one of the most universally known board games of all time. No matter who you are or where you’re from, it is highly likely you have heard of the game before, and for good reason. The game is more than 1,500 years old, and is one of the best ways to practice critical thinking skills.

What appears to be a game full of complex strategies and tactics is actually one of simplicity. Each player, making one move at a time, uses six unique game pieces to maneuver around a board of 64 squares of alternating colors. It is in this simplicity that chess finds a sort of beauty. Whether you are brand new to the game or a seasoned grandmaster, there are many reasons why you should pick up your board and play.
