• To be a winner in chess...

  Objective of chess is “checkmate”

  the opponent's king.

  In addition to checkmate, the game

  can be won by voluntary

  resignation by the opponent, which

  typically occurs when too much

  material is lost, or if checkmate

  appears unavoidable.

  A game may also result in a draw in

  several ways.
