# Chess
Chess is a very old two-player board [game](game.md), perhaps most famous and popular among all board games in [history](history.md). It is a [complete information](complete_information.md) game that simulates a battle of two armies on an 8x8 board with different battle pieces. Chess is also called the King's Game, it has a world-wide competitive community and is considered an intellectual [sport](sport.md) but it's also been a topic of research (as the estimated number of chess games is bigger than [googol](googol.md), it is unlikely to ever be solved) and [programming](programming.md) (many chess engines, [AI](ai.md)s and frontends are being actively developed). Chess is similar to [shogi](shogi.md) ("Japanese chess") and [xiangqi](xiangqi.md) ("Chinese chess").

{ There is a nice black and white indie movie called *Computer Chess* about chess programmers of the 1980s, it's pretty good, very oldschool, starring real programmers and chess players, check it out. ~drummyfish }

- **puzzle**: For single player, chess positions are presented and the player has to find the best move or sequence of moves.
- **racing kings**: The starting position has both players on the same side, the goal is to get one's king to the other side first.
- **3D chess**: [3D](3d.md) generalization of chess.
- **randomly chosen variant**: Here a chess variant to be played is chosen at random before the game, e.g. by dice roll. { This is an idea I got, not sure if this exists or has a different name. ~drummyfish }
