- [0](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/238-board-games/0/) — A chess game starts with 32 pieces on the board, 16 white and 16 black.
- [1](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/238-board-games/1/) — Each capture takes one piece off the board, so subtract all the captures of both players from 32.
- [2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/lessons/238-board-games/2/) — White has taken 5 pieces and Black 3: 32 − 5 − 3 = 24 pieces are still on the board.
