History of Chess

The origins of chess are not exactly clear, though most believe it evolved from earlier chess-like games played in India almost two thousand years ago. The game of chess we know today has been around since the 15th century where it became popular in Europe.

The Goal of Chess

Chess is a game played between two opponents on opposite sides of a board containing 64 squares of alternating colors. Each player has 16 pieces: 1 king, 1 queen, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, and 8 pawns. The goal of the game is to checkmate the other king. Checkmate happens when the king is in a position to be captured (in check) and cannot escape from capture.

Starting a Game

At the beginning of the game the chessboard is laid out so that each player has the white (or light) color square in the bottom right-hand side. The chess pieces are then arranged the same way each time. The second row (or rank) is filled with pawns. The rooks go in the corners, then the knights next to them, followed by the bishops, and finally the queen, who always goes on her own matching color (white queen on white, black queen on black), and the king on the remaining square.

The player with the white pieces always moves first. Therefore, players generally decide who will get to be white by chance or luck such as flipping a coin or having one player guess the color of the hidden pawn in the other player's hand. White then makes a move, followed by black, then white again, then black and so on until the end of the game.

Karpov-Kasparov World Championship 1985 (Game 2)

In the first game of the 1985 World Championship match, Garry Kasparov won with the White pieces and leads 1-0 after 1 game. Can his rival, the reigning World Champion Anatoly Karpov come back in the second game, and level the score? Or can Kasparov take an immediate 2-0 lead? This game was highly anticipated and both Karpov and Kasparov were confident. As usual, the colors were alternated, and Karpov was playing White.

This game was a great game. Kasparov gained a tempo in the opening and he was better at the start of the middlegame but Karpv exchanged his passive rook for both of Kasparov's bishops, which were active to take the edge. Both players created a passed pawn, and Kasparov's move Qd2 gave the edge back to him. The queens were exchanged soon after, and Kasparov created a second passed pawn on the a-file. The e-pawn soon fell, also leading to the exchange of rooks. Then the battle was over the a-pawn, which Karpov took. Kasparov was able to take a kingside pawn, and create a passed pawn there but by then, the position was simplified enough fro Karpov to draw
