Chess of the Middle Ages

For over fifteen centuries, chess has maintained its popularity, even with the advent of modern innovations like computers, the Internet, and social media. Today, players can enjoy chess on their smartphones, tablets, or computers. As one of the world's oldest games, chess is steeped in medieval tradition. The objective is to "capture" your opponent's king and claim his throne.
