Chess is one of the greatest games of all time. Its origin trace back to 1500 B.C. in India. It is classified as a turn-based strategy game, but it has influenced many other genre's as well such as the Tower Defense and RPG genres. For example, if viewed from a defensive prospective, Chess can be seen as a game where the player's objective is to defend his our king from attack by strategically developing and managing their pieces. This is similar to Tower Defense games where players defend their city from attack by strategically placing weapons and towers to attack invading enemies. Also, in Chess each piece has its particular positional drawbacks this is the main feature of RPG games where players have to choose from characters that have certain pros and cons. The main objective of chess is to capture or in other words take or destroy of something of your opponents. Most of the player interaction in Chess is player vc. player, but other types of player interaction such as group chess (multiple player vs. multiple player) and player vs. computers have been increasingly popular in recent years as well. Additionally, many variations to Chess such as Chess 960 or Fischer Random Chess, in which a computer or human randomly arranges the chess pieces' starting location have also become popular. However, the main challenge with Chess is time; Chess Grandmasters and other experts have such a deep theoretical knowledge of the game that if they were given infinite time, they could manage to draw every game. To make the game more exciting and challenging, time handicap rules are in tact. There are 3 game modes that each have different time allotments in Chess: Classical (2 hour time, with 30 min increment at 40 moves), Rapid (25 min with time increments of 5 seconds after each move and a 10 min increment at 40 moves), and Blitz (10 mins or less with 5 sec increment).
