Many people, however, have been taught incorrectly, or don't know some of the more obscure rules. So you may be surprised at what you'll learn!

Chess is many things. It is a game, a sport, a science, and an art!

As a game, it is one in which the element of chance has been almost completely eliminated, and skill rules supreme!
