Chess has a medieval history

Chess is a game that has been played for over 5000 years.  It is based on the idea of a kingdom and each piece has a varying level of importance.

All the pieces are meant to protect the King. The Monarchy will fall if the King is destroyed. The queen stands beside the king and shields him. The bishops, who are next in line for the throne, take their place on each side of the king and queen. Subsequently, the Knights defend the realm with their wealth and influence.

Lastly, the Rooks standing at the outside of the rear guard defended all within the realm. The Pawns were considered less important and accordingly are in the front line and the first to be sacrificed.

Nowadays the game of chess is widely played and is considered beneficial for concentration and memory retention. It requires logical and sequential thinking, decision making and focus.  It can also be valuable for those with ADHD or Alzheimers.  It is great for social interaction and is played in Interschool Chess Championships, leagues and tournaments.
