ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Chess tournament

Hi there little one! Do you know what chess is? It's a fun game where you use different pieces like a king, queen, rook, bishop, knight and pawn to try and capture your opponent's king.

Now, imagine a big room with lots of people who love to play chess. They all come together to play against each other in what is called a chess tournament.

The tournament is like a big competition with many rounds. Everyone plays against someone else and if they win, they get a point. The person with the most points at the end of all the rounds is the winner of the tournament!

There are many different chess tournaments, some for people who are just starting out and some for very experienced players. It's a great way to meet other people who love chess and to challenge yourself to become a better player!
