What Is It
BRIEF HISTORY OF CHESS
Chess is a game that has been played for centuries and was thought to
have originated in India in the 15th century. Long ago, it was considered a
game reserved only for kings and members of the upper classes. Nowadays,
chess is played by common people even at an early age.
The modern design of chess pieces bears the name Staunton, who was
an English master in the mid-1800’s. These are the type of pieces that are now
used in all tournaments worldwide.
The first international chess tournament was the London Tourney
played in 1851. A German named Adolf Anderssen won the game. He became
the unofficial best chess player of the world because he did not receive any
award or title.
The first great American-born chess player is Paul Morphy. Paul travelled to
3
Europe in the 1850’s, where he beat all challengers, including Adolf
Anderssen.
However, the English champion of the time (Staunton) refused to play with
him, so Morphy never became a world chess champ.
The official championship chess tournament was played in 1866 in
London, with sand clocks to restrict the length of a game. A Bohemian
(Czechoslovakian) Jew named Steinitz won the game. He became the world’s
first official chess champion, holding this title until 1894.
Have you wondered who rules in the world of chess today? Recently,
Russia dominates the game of chess. This results from the establishment of
government schools for talented chess players after the communist revolution
of 1917. Since, 1927, many of the top chess players have been citizens of the
former USSR, and include: Tal, Alekhine, Petrosian, Spassky, Smyslov,
Anatoli Karpov, and Gary Kasparov.
BENEFITS DERIVED FROM PLAYING CHESS
Chess is an indoor recreational activity which is now being introduced
as a major part of secondary level curriculum because of the benefits it gives
to the students.
Here are some of the benefits which can be derived from playing
chess:
1. Chess increases the mathematical and scientific skills of the students. It
also enhances the problem-solving skills, concentration ability, as well as
logical thinking ability of the students.
2. It develops a sense of confidence and self-worth of a student.
3. It also increases the communication skills of a student.
4. It gives a lesson of hard work and commitment.
5. Aside from intellectual exercise, chess provides entertainment and
relaxation. This game is free and can provide entertainment even for the
observers.
6. Chess also has health benefits. It is considered as a form of recreational
therapy. Chess keeps the mind healthy and a healthy mind results in a
healthy body. It is used by the therapists to help people suffering from
cognitive functioning such as anxiety and depression.
7. Chess is a form of indoor recreational activity that can be used to
strengthen family bond. The members of the family can play with each
other while at home. In a way, the chess pieces can represent the family
members. Each member of the family has role to play. In chess, the pieces
also have specific function to perform to win the game.
THE GOAL OF THE GAME
Chess is a game played between two opponents on opposite sides of a
board containing 64 squares of alternating colors. Each player has 16 pieces:
1 king, 1 queen, 2 rocks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, and 8 pawns.
4
The goal of the game is to checkmate the other king. Checkmate
happens when the king is in a position to be captured (in check) and cannot
escape from capture.
CHESS PIECES
Chess pieces can be moved to capture an opponent’s piece. This is done
by landing on the square of the opponent’s piece and then replacing it. Pieces
can also be moved to defend other pieces in case of capture, or to control
important squares in the game.
Follow the moves of the chess pieces as illustrated below.
THE KING
The king is the most important piece; however, it is also considered as
one of the weakest. The king only moves one square in any direction – up,
down, to the sides, and diagonally. The king may never move himself into
check (where he could be captured).
THE QUEEN
The queen is the most powerful piece. It moves in any one straight
direction – forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally. As all the other pieces,
except the knight, it cannot move over any intervening piece.
5
THE ROOK
The rook may move to any square as far as it wants, but only forward,
backward, and to the sides. The rooks are particularly powerful pieces when
they are protecting each other and working together.
THE BISHOP
The bishop may move as far as it wants, but only diagonally. Each bishop
starts on one color (light or dark) and must always stay on that color. Bishops
work well together because they cover up each other’s weakness.
THE KNIGHT
Knights move by going two squares in one direction, and then one more
moves just like an “L” shape. Knights are the only pieces that can move over
other pieces.
THE PAWN
Pawns move forward, but capture diagonally. They can never move
backwards. On its first move, the pawn can advance two squares at a time.
6
Succeeding moves will be one square at a time.
Note: The dot ( ) represents the direction of the moves of the pieces.
