Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a chessboard, a checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The game is played by millions of people worldwide. Chess is believed to have originated in India sometime before the 7th century. The game was derived from the Indian game chaturanga, which is also the likely ancestor of the Eastern strategy games xiangqi, janggi, and shogi. (A minority view holds that chess originated in China.) Chess reached Europe by the 9th century, due to the Moorish conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. The pieces assumed their current powers in Spain in the late 15th century; the rules were standardized in the 19th century.

The game for two: the battle of the ships.

This is an old but good game for one or two players. You need to test your forces in the battle of ships. The first player chooses the positions of his ships and routes the ships so that they do not interfere with each other and are the main rule in the battle of the ships. When you complete the boarding, then give your opponent a friend to set up your own ships. He is subject to the same rules of the battle of the ships: to let the ships not interfere with each other, and then to guess where the hid friends are. You will win the one who first hits and destroys the friend’s and opponent’s ships.
