Welcome to Dr. Chess, where you can dive into the thrilling world of real-time online Chess from anywhere around the globe. Chess, a timeless two-player strategy board game, is played on a classic chessboard, which features a checkered pattern with 64 squares laid out in an eight-by-eight grid. As one of the world's most beloved games, it captivates millions of players, whether they're playing at home, in parks, clubs, online, through correspondence, or in competitive tournaments.
Starting the game, each player commands an army of 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each type of piece has its own unique way of moving across the board. The core objective is to use these pieces to attack and capture your opponent's pieces, aiming to achieve 'checkmate'—a situation where the opponent's king is under an inescapable threat of capture. Besides checkmate, victory can also be secured through the opponent's voluntary resignation, often prompted by significant material loss or when checkmate becomes inevitable.
