If I remember correctly, there are some videos on YouTube that explain how to play Chess in 10 minutes.
But can you explain how to play Chess in less than 10 minutes?

Explaining chess in less than 10 minutes can be a challenge, but here's a simplified version: Chess is a two-player strategy game. Each player has 16 pieces, including a King, Queen, Rooks, Knights, Bishops, and Pawns. The objective is to checkmate your opponent's King while protecting your own. Pieces move in specific ways: Pawns forward, Knights in an L-shape, Bishops diagonally, Rooks horizontally/vertically, and the Queen can do it all. The King moves one space at a time but is vital to protect. Avoid checkmate by moving the King out of threat.To learn more, you can check out https://chess-bot.com/ for detailed tutorials and strategies. Enjoy your games!
