I have been playing chess for over 5 years. My favorite piece is the bishop. I like the bishop because it goes diagonally and it can kill many pieces on the board. It is also a good piece because if you kill the queen it is a good sacrifice. I like playing chess because it is fun and very interesting. It is also a quiet game and is healthy and great for your brain. In chess there are many ways to checkmate the king. My favorite way is the 4 move checkmate. It is done using the queen and the bishop. There are many ways to block it though.
