Publisher's Synopsis
Chess is a fantastic game that requires aptitude and focus.
The objective of the game is to checkmate, or capture, the opposing player's king. Checkmates happen when the opposing king is "frozen" in the center of the board, which is defined as a square that the king cannot move to during the game.

It is an excellent way to maintain your alertness since, during a chess game, several parameters are to be considered. The player is also brought to cultivate many qualities such as patience, memorization, logic, concentration, and serenity.
Chess is an excellent occupation to cultivate the joy of living among seniors and to increase their self-esteem. Since chess trains your brain and memory, it can help prevent Alzheimer's disease.
