Chess Board

I am truly fascinated whenever I see anyone playing chess. I don't really know how this game is being played. I have no idea on playing any board game neither chess but if anyone is willing to teach me even how to set up a chess board, then I will. When we pass by in one mall for Chess Olympics, I can't help but be amazed by players who did it well in this game. I am not really a fan but I love the game. I honestly don't know the different pieces on a chess board or even how to arrange so I closely watched and wondered if I can take a video of them. I asked the game coordinator but was told that audience is not being allowed to take a video clip. I should try online games instead and be familiarized how the game is being played. Chess is a mind game that needs a very competitive skill.
