Chess is Everything: Art, Science and Sport
Among the indoor games, chess presents some unique ways for brain-teasing. Unlike the games of cards and dice, there is no “luck” factor involved here. The chess opponents start with exactly the same pieces and thus have equal power. The one who plays it consistently with better skills and focus wins the game. In a given game, there is one and only one right move that demonstrates the beauty of logic and science. No other game, therefore, brings as much joy and excitement as watching the grandmasters move their pieces.
