Here's a game you can learn, or relearn, at any age. The classic two-player board game, that's been around for centuries, is played on an 8x8 grid.
Each player leads an army of 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights and eight pawns.
The object is to checkmate your opponent’s king, trapping him with no escape.
