Chess pieces vary in both value and abilities. A standard chess match consists of each player having the following equipment:

• 1 King
• 1 Queen
• 2 Rooks
• 2 Bishops
• 2 Knights
• 8 Pawns

To distinguish between sides, one player will use a darker set of pieces than the other. Besides these standard pieces, there exists many chess variants or certain kinds of chess problems that call for non-standard, fairy pieces.

"Pieces" is the second single from Sum 41's 2004 album, Chuck. The song is about a person that acts like someone else for acceptance and later realizes that he is not happy in the way he is living. The song is also associated with a relationship that is coming to an end.

"Pieces" is the third and final single from the album Dish of the Day by German pop band Fool's Garden. It was released in 1996.
