In this 21st century, the game of chess offers a very convenient way to develop, execute and improve mental strategies. Chess is like a war between two players fought on a battleground of black and white squares and their armies consist of 8 Pawns, 2 Knights, 2 Bishops, 2 Rooks, a King and a Queen. The players need to use their brains to move their armies to capture the opponents’ pieces and jeopardize the opponent’s King. Those with a better strategy can forge their victory using their thinking skills and tactics.
