Marvel Chess

Chess is a two-player abstract strategy board game that represents medieval warfare on an 8x8 board with alternating light and dark squares. Opposing pieces traditionally designated White and Black are initially lined up on either side. Each type of piece has a unique form of movement and capturing occurs when a piece via its movement occupies the square of an opposing piece. Players take turns moving one of their pieces in an attempt to capture attack defend or develop their positions. Chess games can end in checkmate resignation or one of several types of draws. Chess is one of the most popular games in the world played by millions of people worldwide at home in clubs online by correspondence and in tournaments. Between two highly skilled players chess can be a beautiful thing to watch and a game can provide great entertainment even for novices. There is also a large literature of books and periodicals about chess typically featuring games and commentary by chess masters.
The game has its origins in the Indian game Chaturanga and became Shatranj when introduced to the Persians. The current form of the game emerged in the second half of the 15th century when the Persians brought Shatranj to Southern Europe. The tradition of organized competitive chess began in the 16th century. The first official World Chess Champion Wilhelm Steinitz claimed his title in 1886. The current World Champion is Magnus Carlsen Norway. Chess is also a recognized sport of the International Olympic Committee.
