Chess is a classic two-player strategy game played on an 8x8 board. Each player controls 16 pieces: King, Queen, Rooks, Knights, Bishops, and Pawns. The goal is to checkmate the opponent's King. This web-based version offers a clean 2D, flat-vector style board and pieces, simple click-to-move controls, and both single-player (vs AI) and two-player modes.
