Implement a Stack data structure using one or more Queues. Your stack should support the standard push, pop, top (peek), and empty operations. push(x):** Adds element x to the top of the stack. pop():** Removes the element on the top of the stack and returns it. top():** Returns the element on the top of the stack without removing it. empty():** Returns whether the stack is empty. For example, consider the following sequence of operations: push(1) push(2) top() // returns 2 pop() // returns 2 empty() // returns false Explain your approach clearly, focusing on how you would use queue operations (enqueue and dequeue) to achieve stack-like behavior. Discuss the time complexity of each operation in your implementation. Consider edge cases and potential optimizations.

Design a Chess Board using Object-Oriented principles. Consider the classes, their attributes, and methods. Focus on the core components like the board, pieces, and interactions between them. For example, how would you represent the different chess pieces (pawn, rook, knight, etc.) and their unique movement rules? How would you handle the logic for checking if a move is valid, including considering piece-specific constraints and checking for checkmate or stalemate scenarios? Illustrate with code snippets to showcase how these objects would interact. How will you handle special moves like castling and en passant? How would you keep track of the game state and handle turn management?
