Chess is a board game for two players, called White and Black, each
controlling an army of chess pieces in their color, with the objective
to checkmate the opponent's king. It is sometimes called international
chess or Western chess to distinguish it from related games, such as
xiangqi (Chinese chess) and shogi (Japanese chess). The recorded history
of chess goes back at least to the emergence of a similar game,
chaturanga, in seventh century India. The rules of chess as we know them
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, played by
millions of people worldwide.
