The Practice of Chess

Chess is a space-time continuum of pattern recognition. A game governed by rules where two players challenge each other in strategic battles for control of its sixty-four dark and light squares with infinite probabilities of moves requiring underlined analytical vision and mathematical prowess.

Each player can construct infinitely intricate patterns in order to generate lines of attack against his/her opponent’s King
