Chess Tutorial

Chess is a two-player strategy game played on a checkered board. Each player starts with 16 pieces that are moved according to strict rules, aiming to capture the opponent's pieces. The objective is to place the opponent’s king in checkmate, a position from which it cannot escape capture. You can challenge your friends to a game of chess through Navi!
