Chess Origins:
Embark on a historical journey as you delve into the origins of chess. Beginning in northwest India in the 6th century as chaturaṅga, meaning four divisions, the game evolved into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook. Its journey along the Silk Road brought it to Western Europe and Russia by the 9th century, spreading through Muslim Iberia and Latin Europe. Chaturaṅga was embraced by the Muslim world after the conquest of Persia, leading to the birth of the game we now know as chess, with its iconic "checkmate."
