Chess is an ancient two player strategy board game believed to have originated from within India. Chess takes place on a chessboard with sixty four squares and is played with meticulous purpose given to pieces within a rigid grid movement system. Tournament chess is played with a chess clock, necessitating players to act under an allotted time limit. The first international chess tournament was held in London in 1851.
