Chess is like a battle between two armies on a checkered board! You have lots of cool pieces: pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, a queen, and a king! The goal is to make the other king so scared he can’t move – that’s called checkmate! Each piece moves differently: knights hop in an L-shape, and bishops zoom diagonally. It’s all about thinking ahead and planning your moves, like a super smart puzzle! You can outsmart your friend or family member by trapping their pieces and protecting your own. It’s such a fun way to challenge your brain and show off your skills!
