The main objective in chess is to checkmate the opponent's king, meaning the king is under immediate attack (in check) and has no legal move to escape capture.
Each player begins with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns.
The queen is generally considered the most powerful piece, capable of moving any number of squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
A Grandmaster is the highest title a chess player can achieve, awarded by FIDE (the International Chess Federation) for exceptional skill and performance in tournaments.
