- The shortest checkmate is in two moves, black mates white.
- There are 64 squares on a chess board. Terms and Conditions apply.
- If you are a math wiz, you will know that the grid is a square, and is 8×8.
- A knight can visit all 64 squares, which isn’t that related to mathematics.
- There are about 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 games of 40 moves or lower.
- The 100/2 (aka 50) move rule (no, it’s not called ‘the 100/2 move rule’, it’s the 50 move rule) states that, well, um, uh …

I did say that there are 64 squares on a chessboard. NOT STRICTLY TRUE! What about 3×3, 2×2, 4×4, 5×5, etc.???
Add ’em all up and it’s 204 squares.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐
I mean, I THINK it’s 204. I don’t really know. Have a look!
