 | | Chess is not a game of chance ; it is based solely on tactics and strategy, and for this reason, it is sometimes known by the sobriquet the "Game of Kings". | | | Chess (from the Persian word Shah) is a board game for two players played on a square board divided into eight rows (or ranks) and eight columns (or files) creating 64 individual squares which alternate in color orthogonally (traditionally as white and black although other colours are sometimes used). | | | Many variants and relatives of chess are played throughout the world; amongst them, the most popular are Xiangqi (in China), Janggi (in Korea), Shogi (in Japan), and Buddhi Chal (in Nepal), all of which come from the same historical stem as chess. |

| | 2) You can't win a game from a distance and hypermodern play is not passive or defensive play. | | | Hypermodern openings are what we call just about anything that does not try to occupy the center with pawns (which is what we usually call classical play). | | | The margin for error is much smaller for the hypermodern player so throw those pawns out there, open files, and blow them off the board. |

| | The counter-gambit was reintroduced in the game Lasker - Albin”, Hooper and Whyld, The Oxford Companion to Chess. | | | Yet, paradoxically, a line invented by another player, whose name is now unknown to the chess world, bears Albin’s name, while his name is omitted from the line he really invented. | | | Albin began participating in serious chess events relatively late in life, and in fact never recovered the ground his delayed start in the game cost him. |

| | In fact, LeBendig says, top-flight players often look to set up "squeezes," whereby their opponents are forced to go first -- and make plays that can only help their rivals. | | | If getting to go first gives a player a huge advantage in tic-tac-toe, can the same be said for more complicated games -- such as bridge, chess, and baseball? | | | Still, the CDU was willing to give the first-mover argument a second look -- in the world of games. |

| | It is a strategy of play which controls the center of the board with distant pieces rather than with pawns, inviting the opponent to occupy the center with pawns which can then become objects of attack. | | | I have only done a cursory look online for definitions about hypermodernism and how it is defined/used/referred to and so far can only come up with a somewhat vague explanation. | | | Virilio linked to hypermodernism which links to chess, and I just played my first game of chess the other day with my daughter. |
