The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent’s King by placing it under threat of capture which cannot be avoided.
#NOTHING MAKES ME HAPPIER THAN PEOPLE GETTING CHESS METAPHORS RIGHT #the pawn; least powerful piece on the board— but with one wild move and if you get it to the end it can become the most powerful #the bishop; amazing range but can only move on its color— a piece that will surprise you #the knight; the irrational piece— hardest to predict #the rook; who guards the king— a long range piece #the king; the ultimate goal— but can’t do the work itself #the queen; the most powerful piece on the board— the only piece that doesn’t emulate it in some way is the knight

After filming 2011’s Thor, director Kenneth Branagh noticed that the prop hammer -Mjolnir - had gone missing, distressing the famous director who had planned to keep it as a memento. Actor Tom Hiddleston, a longtime friend of Branagh’s, is reported to have taken the prop. He currently has no plans to return it, and is “not sorry.”
