In India, the year and people who invented are not known .. The history of chess has at least one and a half thousand years [1]. Invented in India in the 5th-6th centuries, chess has spread throughout the world, becoming an integral part of human culture.

Each set of pieces includes: king (♔, ♚), queen (♕, ♛), two rooks (♖, ♜), two bishops ((, ♝), two knights (♘, ♞) and eight pawns ((, ♟ ) In the initial position, the figures of both sides are placed as shown in the diagram. White occupies the first and second horizontals, black - the seventh and eighth. Pawns are located on the second and seventh horizontals respectively .

Since the 19th century, time control has been used. Initially, it was carried out using an hourglass, later, in 1883, the Englishman Thomas Bright Wilson designed mechanical chess watches [14], which after a series of modifications by the beginning of the 20th century took on a modern look: two clockworks, alternately switched on by pressing one of two buttons. The player’s time elapses when the small red hand (“flag”) is raised by the minute hand of the clock. The concepts of “time pressure”, “time loss”, “blitz”, “play on a flag”, the possibility of a draw in the best game situation, but with worse time, appeared in the game.
