Checkmate!

No no no! Stupid pawns! Hi friends, I'm at a chess game, but looks like my “king” is going to be checkmate!

Anyway, today's International Chess Day, it was founded by FIDE in 1924.

Chess, which is very old, has 6 different types of pieces: 8 pawns, those with round balls on top; 2 rooks, which are basically like watch towers; 2 knights; 2 bishops; 1 queen; and 1 king, who’ll determine the outcome.

Chess is usually played on an 8 by 8 board, which is really big, but when you have 32 pieces, that makes it pretty small.

But there isn't enough time to talk more about chess, so I advise you to visit this link: https://www.chess.com/, to learn, write, and play chess.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, my opponent today is a robot! Did you know the first chess computer was called “Deep Blue?” And that it won over Garry Kasparov? Well, you can find it on the web, so bye!
