Chess is aboard game for two players, played on a squareboard consisting of 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The players, referred to as"White" and "Black", each control sixteenpieces: oneking, onequeen, tworooks, twobishops, twoknights, and eightpawns, with each piece type having a different pattern of movement. An enemy piece may be captured (removed from the board) by moving one's own piece onto the square it occupies. 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 adraw.

The recorded history of chess dates back to the emergence ofchaturanga in 7th-centuryIndia. Chaturanga is also thought to be an ancestor ofsimilar games likejanggi,xiangqi, andshogi. After its introduction toPersia, it spread to the Arab world and then to Europe. The modern rules of chess emerged in Europe at the end of the 15th century, becoming standardized and gaining 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. International chess competitions today are governed by the International Chess FederationFIDE (Fédération Internationale des Échecs). The first universally recognizedWorld Chess Champion,Wilhelm Steinitz, claimed his title in1886;Gukesh Dommaraju is the current World Champion, having won the title in2024. (Full article...)

Chess boxing, orchessboxing, is ahybrid sport that combineschess andboxing. Two combatants play alternating rounds ofblitz chess and boxing until one wins bycheckmate orknockout. It is also possible to win by time penalty as in normal chess, and by boxing decision if there is a draw in the chess round.

Typically, events are held in a standard boxing ring using standard amateur boxing equipment and rules. The chess round is also played in the ring with the table, board, and seating on a platform being lifted in and out of the ring from the ceiling for each round. (Full article...)
