2. The board is one of the main parts of Chess, along with the pieces, the clock and the rules that make it up.
   the board is the battlefield where we will fight, the space where we will move with the pieces, It consists of a large square containing 64 grids also called squares, 32 of them light in color and 32 dark in color that are exchanged sequentially, being defined with 8 large columns that can be seen vertically (from a to h) y 8 large rows or lines that are observed horizontally (of the 1 al 8), Consequently, each box has a letter (according to your location column) and a number according to its row, It being determined that box a1, will always be dark in color, while the h1 box will always be light in color. On the other hand, this conjunction of lines and columns of alternating colors generally 13 light colored diagonals and 13 dark diagonals. Finally we can say that the 4 central squares (d4–d5–e4 and e5) They constitute the right center of the board and the surrounding quadrants give rise to the formation of roundabouts., That is to say, the central roundabout is made up of all the squares that enclose these four central squares.; to later give rise to the exterior gazebo, made up of all the boxes that “enclose” the central roundabout and finally the outer edge made up of all the squares in the row 1 y 8 and the boxes in columns a and h. It is very important to know the constitution of the board because when playing with boards that do not have their letters or numbers. it is possible to make a mistake and lead to playing with the board inverted (sideways) where the colors of the corner squares are changed, leading to changed queen and king locations, the bishops change their position, problems with castling and game scoring, etc.
