Board games are traditionally a subset of tabletop games that involve counters or pieces moved or placed
on a pre-marked surface or "board", according to a set of rules. In common parlance, however, a board
game need not necessarily contain a physical board. Some games are based on pure strategy, but many
contain an element of chance; and some are purely chance, with no element of skill.

Games usually have a goal that a player aims to achieve. Early board games represented a battle between
two armies, and most modern board games are still based on defeating opponents in terms of counters,
winning position, or accrual of points.

There are many varieties of board games. Their representation of real-life situations can range from having
no inherent theme, such as checkers, to having a specific theme and narrative, such as Cluedo. Rules can
range from the very simple, such as in Snakes and Ladders; to deeply complex, as in Advanced Squad
Leader.

The time required to learn to play or master a game varies greatly from game to game, but is not
necessarily correlated with the number or complexity of rules; games like chess or Go possess relatively
simple rulesets, but have great strategic depth.

Brief History of Chess

Do you know where chess originated? 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 types 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 was Paul Morphy. Paul travelled to 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 first 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 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, AnatoliKarpov and Gary Kasparov.
