Chess is a game


Chess is a game, a mental competition conducted according to specific rules with the participants in direct opposition to each other.

"Chess, with all its philosophical depth, its aesthetic appeal, is first of all a game in the best sense of the word; a game in which are revealed your intellect, character, will." Boris Spassky (World champion 1969-1972)
