Chess Duel: The Timeless Arena of Intellectual Warfare ♟️👑

Prepare to engage in the ultimate intellectual showdown—a battle of wits, strategy, and foresight spanning centuries. Classic Chess Duel isn't merely a board game; it's a profound, highly sophisticated strategic simulator played on the legendary 64-square chessboard, an 8x8 grid that serves as the arena for military and tactical genius. Every move is a calculated decision, and every piece holds the potential for both brilliant attack and catastrophic failure.

The Grand Army and the Rules of Engagement 🛡️🏰

Each of the two rival players commands a magnificent starting force of sixteen pieces, comprising six distinct, powerful types, each with unique movement capabilities that define the strategic complexity of the game.

Piece Type	Count	Movement Capability (The Essence of Strategy)
King	1	The ultimate target. Moves exactly one square to any adjacent, unthreatened field. Its survival is paramount.
Queen	1	The most potent piece. Combines the powers of the Rook and the Bishop, moving any number of free squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Rook	2	A powerful long-range piece. Moves any number of free squares horizontally or vertically (straight lines). Essential for castling and endgames.
Bishop	2	A potent piece restricted to color. Moves any number of free squares diagonally. The pair covers all 64 squares across the board.
Knight	2	The unconventional jumper. Moves in an 'L' shape: two squares in one cardinal direction and then one square perpendicularly. The only piece that can jump over others.
Pawn	8	The foot soldier. Moves one square forward only, except when capturing, which is done diagonally one square forward. Has special rules for initial moves and promotion.

The entirety of this elaborate war machine is mobilized with a single, overarching objective: to achieve Checkmate. This is the triumphant state where the opponent’s King is placed under the imminent, unavoidable threat of capture—a situation known as "check"—from which escape is impossible.
