Chess Chess is a game, played by two players. One player plays with the white pieces, and the other player plays with the black pieces. Each player has sixteen pieces in the beginning of the game: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. The game is played on a chessboard, consisting of 64 squares: eight rows and eight columns. The squares are alternately light (white) and dark colored. The board must be laid down such that there is a black square in the lower left corner. To facilitate notation of moves, all squares are given a name. From the view of the white player, the rows are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; the lowest row has number 1, and the upper row has number 8. The columns are named, from left to right, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h. Thus, at the second row, there are eight white pawns, at the seventh row; there are eight black pawns. At the first row, from left to right, we have a: rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, and rook. Note that the queens start of squares of their own color, with a dark square in each player's left hand corner. Alternately, the players make a move, starting with the white player (the player that plays with the white pieces.) A move consists of moving one of the pieces of the player to a different square, following the rules of movement for that piece. A player can take a piece of the opponent by moving one of his own pieces to the square that contains a piece of the opponent. The opponent's piece then is removed from the board, and out of play for the rest of the game. The rook moves in a straight line, horizontally or vertically. The rook may not jump over other pieces, that is: all squares between the square where the rook starts its move and where the rook ends its move must be empty. The bishop moves in a straight diagonal line. The bishop may also not jump over other pieces. The queen has the combined moves of the rook and the bishop, the queen may move in any straight line, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The knight makes a move that consists of first one step in a horizontal or vertical direction, and then one step diagonally.

And the skills we try to learn can be less strenuous to obtain. He takes us back to kasparov and how when he was coming about in the soviet union only a few kids that showed promise could get lessons from a grand master and then be able to access records to famous chess games. Clive Thompson considers the fact that computers have leveled the playing field. Now any kid anywhere in the world that has access to the internet can learn more about chess games. Playing an artificial opponent made the game a little faster and the instincts of a player became fast as well. A player could also experiment and see what the outcome of different moves could be. This also means grandmaster players are being produced at a much younger age than ever before. He makes a reference to grand master Bobby Fischer who became a grand master at age fifteen. He does this to show how with the emergence of computers new grand masters are getting younger and younger. Such as Sergey Karjakin who became grand master in two thousand and two at the age of twelve. This clearly shows how computers speed up the learning
Board breaking is often exhibited as an incredible talent performed by martial artists at demonstrations or tournaments in order to show off strength.

The accuracy, strength, and power of these techniques is demonstrated through the break. Many people are amazed by breaking, but don’t fully understand how truly easy it is. Breaking can be explained by both the physics behind the act and the mental aspects of the preparation of the break.
