Chess Game : Turbo C++

   

   Chess is a board game for two players. It is played in a square board, made of 64 smaller squares, with eight squares on each side.

Each square can be empty or occupied by a piece. The initial position of the game consists of 16 white pieces and 16 black pieces. Each player starts with sixteen pieces: eight pawns, two knights, two bishops, two rooks, one queen and one king. The goal of the game is for each player to try and checkmate the king of the opponent. Checkmate is a threat ('check') to the opposing king which no move can stop. It ends the game. 

            During the game players alternate making moves. White always goes first. In a typical move, White selects a white piece and moves it to another square. The destination square is either empty or occupied by an enemy piece. In the latter case the enemy piece is said to be captured. The captured piece is removed from the board, and plays no further role in the game.
