Chess Quiz

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.

    • 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.

  1. 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.

    • Thanks for taking the quiz, Rasma. That is a good score. It’s easy to play the game. There are many online tutorials and you can always play with the computer if you’ve no one to play with.

    • 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.
