What do chess pieces look like and how are they used in the game of chess?
Chess pieces are small, usually made of wood or plastic, and each piece has a specific shape and design. There are six different types of pieces: king, queen, rook, bishop, knight, and pawn. Each type of piece moves in a unique way on the chessboard, with the goal of capturing the opponent's pieces and ultimately checkmating their king to win the game.
