    Chess is a board game for two players.

    It is sometimes called international chess or Western chess to


    distinguish it from related games such as xiangqi (Chinese chess) and shogi (Japanese chess).

    Chess is an abstract strategy game that involves no hidden information and no elements of chance. It is
    played on a chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The players, referred to generically as
    "White" and "Black", each control sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two
    knights, and eight pawns. White moves first, followed by Black; then moves alternate. The object of the
    game is to checkmate (threaten with inescapable capture) the enemy king. There are also several ways a
    game can end in a draw.

    The recorded history of chess goes back at least to the emergence of a similar game, chaturanga, in
    seventh-century India. After its introduction in Persia, it spread to the Arab world and then to Europe.
    The rules of chess as they are known today emerged in Europe at the end of the 15th century, with
    standardization and universal acceptance by the end of the 19th century. Today, chess is one of the
    world's most popular games, with millions of players worldwide.

    Organized chess arose in the 19th century. Chess competition today is governed internationally by FIDE
    (Fédération Internationale des Échecs; the International Chess Federation). The first universally
    recognized World Chess Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, claimed his title in 1886; Ding Liren is the current
    World Champion.
