Chess-Chesmayne

The word ‘Chesmayne’ is taken from the French and means ‘Chess Company’. It is a contest of skill for two people and is played on a board marked with a lattice of cells of contrasting colour, which varies according to the size of the board chosen for play.

Players in turn place a major or minor piece on one of the vacant or occupied cells with the object of capturing hostile pieces. The game (normally) ends when one King has been checkmated.
