Chess piece
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In
chess, each player has one of two equivalent sets of pieces (each a
different color) at the beginning of the game. Each set has six types of pieces,
each with its own pattern of movement:
Other pieces, not used in conventional chess but used in
chess variants or certain kinds of
chess problems, are known as fairy pieces. For a list, see
fairy chess piece.
Physical chess pieces used to play a game are usually three-dimensional
figurines, taller than they are wide (a set of pieces designed for a board with
squares two inches wide will typically have a king around 3.75 inches tall).
They are available in a variety of designs, with the most usual known as the
"Staunton design", named after the 19th century English chess player,
Howard Staunton, being designed by
Nathaniel Cook.
For games played at the top level, pieces made of
wood
are usual, but for lower-level games or very large tournaments,
plastic sets are more normal.
Some small magnetic sets, designed to be compact, have pieces more like those
used in
Shogi and
Xiangqi - each piece being a similar flat token, with a symbol drawn on it
to show which piece it is.
