Chess Tournaments
Modern chess tournaments began in the 1840s and the first international tournament was held in London, in 1851. Strong international tournaments were still quite rare and in the 1880s a master would have been lucky to be able to play in one reasonably strong tournament a year.
By the 1890s, however, a master could enter many strong tournaments throughout the year, and the prize money offered at tournaments made it possible for masters to have a professional chess career.
Nowadays there are many strong tournaments for masters and grandmasters, but there are also a huge number of tournaments for players of every strength. Weaker players today have the chance of improving their play by taking part in such tournaments, which are very competitive.
The following list contains all the stories gathered from here and there.

Starting Games
Games start from the standard initial setup by default, but it is possible to start new games from any setup.
Other setups can be given at challenges, in the following two ways::
- With move list: the given sequence of valid moves that reach the specific setup.
- With FEN line: this is the standard one line description of any position (either invalid)
With these two ways we can exercise openings, middle games or endings, or can replay games from one point, or else.
