Chess

Two players, a board of black and white, and a battle that draws you in completely. Chess brings a medieval battlefield to your own table. Every piece moves in its own way: the rook straight ahead, the bishop diagonally, and the knight makes its famous jump. Move by move, you decide how you attack, defend and slowly shrink your opponent's space. The goal? Trap the other player's king so there is no escape left. The beauty of Chess is that the game grows with you. As a beginner you quickly learn how the pieces work and you enjoy exciting games right away. Play more often and you keep discovering new plans and surprising twists. All over the world people sit bent over this board: at home at the kitchen table, in clubs, online or during tournaments. It is a game that connects generations. Chess has existed for centuries and has its origins in old games from India and Persia. Through Southern Europe it grew into the form we know today. Millions of people play it, and still every game starts with that one choice: which move will you make? Find an opponent, sit down and let the adventure begin.
