THE GAME THEORY OF CHESS
HAFSA JAHAN
Before we even learn about what chess theory is about, let’s
recall what chess is. The sixth century in India is when
chess first appeared. This forerunner, known as
chaturanga was played on an 8x8 grid and had pieces that
were usually comparable to those in current chess. As we
all know already, chess is a game for two parties in which
each party moves 16 pieces across a checkerboard in
accordance with established rules while attempting to put
their opponent's king in an inaccessible position. All ages
enjoy playing chess, which is a game of skill and strategy.
6) The king: The king is the most important piece in the game of
chess. The queen's vacant seat is taken by the king. He can only
travel one square every turn in either direction, and he also
captures similarly. It has the ability to travel diagonally, up, down,
left, or right. It is limited to moving one square at a time. The act of
a player putting his own king into check is forbidden. One of the
most interesting chess-related facts is that the king is the only
piece that cannot be captured. The king, who has poor mobility in
comparison to most other pieces, is unable to escape danger very
quickly. The game is also often considered to be over when a king
is placed in checkmate.
2) Results in a draw.
There are numerous ways that chess could finish, and that
must be acknowledged. Combinatorial game theory examines
the mathematical principles and two-player games like chess
that need complete knowledge. There are unmistakable
parallels between the decision-making process of a chess
player and many facets of game theory.
