Magnetic Wooden Chess (29 х 29 cm)

A wooden classic set with a chessboard on the outside, figures on magnets. Case with a metal lock.

A game with a history of one and a half years, which originated in India and was modified in Arab countries. Now chess is a very popular sport with its own federation and regular international tournaments. It is an abstract dueling game in which opponents control symmetrical sets of pieces. The game is played on an eight-by-eight board. Participants take turns. Victory is awarded to the one who kills the opponent`s king (or, scientifically speaking, puts checker and checkmate).

All figures, except for the horse, move in a straight line. The king moves anywhere one cell away. The queen-queen moves any distance diagonally, vertically or horizontally. Rook - for any distance orthogonally, and bishop-officer - diagonally. A foreign piece is removed from the field if it is in the way. The horse walks in the form of the letter G or L, it is able to jump over other figures. Unlike the older pieces, the pawn moves one square forward, and hits diagonally.
