The game of chess is one of the fewest games that require a person to think critically before making a move. I don’t know if you have attempted playing it but I can guarantee you it’s fun.
It’s not a game to be played in haste. It’s a game that requires you to think hard before you move a pawn, bishop, queen or even a king. You don’t want to lose the king to the enemy. You will do whatever it takes to protect him.
But, did you know in chess the queen is more powerful than the king? In fact than the rest of all the others including the knight and castle.
Let’s see how much you know about this interesting-strategic game.

It has one mistake in the answers, though 🙂
I got 7, thanks for this exciting quiz
I played chess at a young age. I forgot to play now. I only have 5 correct answers.
You did well, Vidocka. That’s a good score. It’s not difficult to remember. There are online chess apps whereby you can play against the computer.
I know the rules, I swear! 5/10 ? Interesting facts though! ?
Hahaha…I see you know how to play chess. It’s not a difficult game. You reached half of the total marks. You did well.
7 out of 10 correct; I haven’t played a game of chess in while but this quiz reminded me of what a fascinating game it is, so I think I’ll ask some friends to play against me one of these days. I hope at least one of them will accept my challenge.

I don’t know much about chess and the results proved it. Great quiz.
Thank you. It’s a good game. You should try it. It’s not hard to learn how to play it.
It is a game I always wished i Knew how to played. i have tried and I have some chess sets at home but I just can’t seem to get it. I think maybe because I am not persistent.
missed the space one, and the answer was so obvious
Sometimes one wonders why one chose another answer knowing the right answer to the question. You did good and thanks for playing the quiz.

I only got 4 correct, but that’s not too bad I guess. I did learn some things. I didn’t know it originated in India. That’s interesting. =)
It’s not a bad score. You did well considering its history is unknown to many people. Yes, the game originated in India. It went through various phases (changes). It had an emperor and a queen could move one step at a time diagonal. Now, the queen is powerful.
