Chess Origins:
Embark on a journey through the rich history of chess, tracing its roots to northwest India in the 6th century, where it emerged as chaturaṅga, translating to "four divisions." In its early form, the game represented infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, evolving over time into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook. The game traversed the Silk Road, reaching Western Europe and Russia by the 9th century. By the year 1000, chess had woven its way through both Muslim Iberia and Latin Europe. Adopted by the Muslim world after the conquest of Persia, it underwent a transformation, with the term "checkmate" derived from the Persian shāh māt, meaning "the king is helpless." Around 1200, modifications to the rules of shatranj commenced in southern Europe, and by 1475, several pivotal changes shaped the game into its present form.
