In chess, each player controls 16 pieces divided into two colours: black and white. The player has a set number of pieces of each type: a king, a queen, two bishops, two knights, two rooks and eight pawns, which are placed on predetermined locations on the board at the beginning of the game. It is composed of 64 boxes, 32 light and 32 dark.
