Why Chess is More Than a Game – And Why Lichess is the Best Place to Play It

*** The Beauty of the 64 Squares***

Chess is timeless.
Every game is a new story. A mystery. A war. A dance.
No matter how many times you've played, there’s always a new trap to fall into—or a brilliant idea waiting to be discovered. One quiet bishop move can change the entire outcome. One pawn push can make history.
You’re not just playing a game. You’re learning focus, patience, strategy, psychology... and even humility.
