Google doodle celebrates the chess, a dynamic game played on 64 black and white squares

**1. e4**. That is correct, it is time for chess! This Doodle celebrates chess, a dynamic game played on 64 black and white squares.

Chess is a two-player board game in which strategy is essential. The game has been played in India since the sixth century, with modern rules emerging in the 15th century. The first international tournament took place in 1851. Competitions grew with new variations, like as timed and speed chess, in which players may surprise their opponents with a rapid Scholar’s Mate.

If you enjoy chess more than merely in passing, celebrate by watching the World Chess Championship. Top chess players from around the world will compete in 14 classical games in Singapore this November and December, each of which might last more than four hours. The first player to win 7.5 points will be crowned global champion. In the event of a tie, keep an eye out for the upcoming rapid games, followed by blitz games, in which each player has only 3 minutes to checkmate their opponent!

Make a move this week. Remember, before you open with the Queen’s Gambit or Sicilian Defense, you should have planned your mid-game! Challenge a friend to a game or tune in to see the championship unfold.
