We are more than sure that most of you know the above-listed names of chess pieces, however we considered it relevant to mention them once more.

For example, what we call knight, is referred to as ‘horse’ in many languages. Even this little point is a proof of the fact chess is a game that reflects the culture in one way or another as well as a proof of how deep and old this game is. Kings, pawns, knights - even the chess pieces display historical figures and overall, the lives of ancient and sometimes of modern times. It is a whole strategy requiring the high concentration of mind to understand which are the right and wise moves leading to victory, just like being the head of an army going to an important battle with your enemy. The only thing to remember is that now, thankfully, it is just a game which you are playing with a friend or a family member or maybe a stranger but surely not with an enemy. This means that playing wisely and wanting to achieve victory is just normal but taking the game fanatically is absolutely wrong. Both, defeat and victory are to be taken with honour just like a true warrior would do. Chess now is a way of entertainment for those who play it as amateurs, and a way to achieve success for those playing professionally.
