Can you name the game played on a board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight gird? Here are a few more clues - each player begins the game with 16 pieces and the most powerful piece is the queen and the least powerful piece is the pawn. The game is Chess.

It is the game of strategy and tactics with players commanding an army of 16 chessmen - pawns, king, queen, bishops, knights, and rooks. The objective is to 'checkmate' the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. Moreover, a well-played chess game has three stages - opening, middle game and the final stage. We will let you know more about it, especially the tips and tricks to win a game of chess.

1. Keep track on your opponent's move: Whenever your opponent makes any move, analyze what made him do so. Is your piece in danger? Strategize as per the moves made by your opponent.

2. Plan well: If you plan to attack, it should be well planned. Don't give time to your opponent to defend himself at any cost. Always remember your pieces have to work in co-ordination so that you can use their strength together.

3. Try to make the best possible move: Ask yourself a few questions before making any move for example, does this move help to defend against my opponent's threats? Will it be safe if you make a particular move? Are there any options available?

4. Know the worth of the pieces before you make a move: When you are about to make a move, you should be well aware about the worth of the pieces for example, the pawn is the least valuable piece, so you can sacrifice it. Knights and bishops are almost equal and worth about three pawns. A queen is worth nine pawns and can move the greatest number of squares, so pay special care when you are about to move it.

5. Take control of the center: Try to control the four squares at the center of the board as a piece in the center controls more of the board area than one that is somewhere else. This also provides an opportunity to your pieces to travel from one side of the board to the other.

6. Protect the king all the time: The main aim of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king. Never forget that your opponent is also looking to kill the king, so always protect him from all dangers and castle him.

7. Be quick: Try to be quick in the game and act well at proper timing. In fact, instead of just moving the pieces, try to determine the best square for each piece and bring it there in as few moves as possible. This may save you from wasting moves later in the game.

8. Plan your endgame: You should always remember that every move you make can affect your chances to win the game in the end. So before you trade a bishop for a knight, think not just about the next few moves but also about the end
