Esse Quam Videri
''Esse quam videri'' is a Latin language, Latin phrase meaning "To be, rather than to seem." It and variants have been used as a motto by a number of different groups. The form ''Esse, non Videri'' ("to act, not to seem to be") is the Wallenberg family motto.

Just a few years after Cicero, Sallust used the phrase in his ''Bellum Catilinae'' (54.6), writing that Cato the Younger ''esse quam videri bonus malebat'' ("He preferred to be good rather than to seem so").

It is sometimes called international chess or Western chess to distinguish it from related games, such as xiangqi (Chinese chess) and shogi (Japanese chess). The recorded history of chess goes back at least to the emergence of a similar game, chaturanga, in seventh-century India. The rules of chess as we know them today emerged in Europe at the end of the 15th century, with standardization and universal acceptance by the end of the 19th century. Today, chess is one of the world's most popular games, played by millions of people worldwide. Chess is an abstract strategy game that involves no hidden information and no use of dice or cards. It is played on a chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the start, each player controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, t ...
