Chess is a game of skill for two players, played on a board of 64 light and dark squares. Each player controls sixteen chessmen, each with their own rules of movement: eight pawns, two knights, two bishops, two rooks, a queen and a king. The game ends when one player’s king has no legal move. Arsene Wenger is frequently likened to a chess player due to his supposed intellect, despite admitting that he knows literally nothing about things that aren’t football, including other sports, all art and literature, how to turn the washing machine on, and numbers beyond eleven.
