Honoré Daumier, Chess players
White Squares or red,
Bishops or knights
Be ready to defend, flee, or fight


We play on a square board of 8 ranks and 8 files, giving 64 squares of alternating light and dark color. Each of us begins with 16 pieces which can move in defined directions (and in some instances, limited range) and can remove other pieces from the board: the pieces are comprised of 8 pawns, 2 knights, 2 bishops, 2 rooks, 1 queen and 1 king. All pieces can remove opponent's pieces. One of us controls the white pieces and the other the black; the one that controls white is always first to move.
