Sinopsis :

Chess, unlike many other games, does not involve chance. It does not hinge on the roll of dice or which card is drawn. The outcome completely depends on the decisions of both the players. However, because of its vast complexity, the far-reaching consequences of some decisions are practically unforeseeable.Chess is an ancient strategy game that originated in India. It is played by two individuals on a grid of 64 alternating black and white squares. The objective is to manoeuvre one's pieces so as to trap the opposing king in "checkmate". This hobby book will cover the basic pieces of chess, before going on to some more advanced topics.The history of chess began in India during the Gupta Empire, where its early form in the 6th century CE was known as chaturanga, which translates as "four divisions of the military" – infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, represented by the pieces that would evolve into the modern pawn, knight, rook, and bishop, respectively.
