Chess is a game in which players spend half their lives trying to figure out how to corner a wooden king on a wooden board on a wooden table.

A lot of former Chess Champions gave differents meaning of Chess, some says it is a science, an art, mathematics and sports (Mental Sport); other says chess is 99% strategy and 99% Tactics., not mention the other former World Champions gave their own.......

Former Chess Champion GM Bobby Fischer revealed his chess secret in  one of his books "The Seven Deadly Sense of Chess" ( The Grand Master Secret).

Former Chess World Champion GM  M. Botvinik also revealed his secret in his book " The Six Study of End Game".

Chess is an art of "calculation" by GM M. Botvinik

But the big question is What is Chess? or What is the definition of Chess in one Word only....?

The answer ..........may bring you in a top level of chess....if you know it?
