What the publisher says about Classic chess
Classic chess is a two-player board game played on a chessboard with 64 squares arranged in rows of an 8x8 grid. Each player starts with 16 pieces: including a king, one queen, two knights, two rooks, two bishops and eight pawns. The goal of this chess game is to checkmate the opponents king, putting him in imminent danger of being captured. The game can be played with artificial intelligence or together with another person on the same device. The game also has the ability to solve chess problems.

Those are the studio's own words, reproduced as we received them and not checked by us. The feed occasionally describes a different game altogether, so treat it as a starting point rather than a fact.
We have not written about Classic chess ourselves yet. Every game we cover is taken apart and played first, so this page waits until that happens. The game above works either way.
