board   Chess is a strategy game for two players and is played on an 8x8 checkered board, with a light square in each player's lower right corner.

Each player controls an army of pieces, or chessmen, which are set up at the start of the game as shown. The letters and numbers around the board in the diagram show the coordinates used for recording games in algebraic notation.

To move a piece in Yahoo! Chess, a player clicks on it, drags it to its destination square,and releases the mouse.
