Amazon Chess

Amazon Chess is a recreational and competitive game played between two players. Sometimes called Western or international chess to distinguish it from its predecessors and other variants, the current form of the game emerged in Southern Europe during the second half of the 15th century after evolving from similar, much older games of Indian and Persian origin. Today, it is one of the worlds most popular games, played by millions of people worldwide in clubs, online, by correspondence, in tournaments and informally.

The game is played on a square chequered chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight square. At the start, each player (one controlling the white pieces, the other controlling the black pieces) controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponents king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove it from attack on the next move.

The tradition of organized competitive started in the sixteenth century and has developed extensively. Today is a recognized sport of the International Olympic Committee. The first official World Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, claimed his title in 1886; Viswanathan Anand is the current World Champion. Theoreticians have developed extensive strategies and tactics since the games inception. Aspects of art are found in chess composition.
