Chess Origins:
Explore the rich history of chess, originating in northwest India in the 6th century as chaturaṅga, meaning four divisions. These divisions evolved into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook, representing infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, respectively. The game traversed the Silk Road, reaching Western Europe and Russia by the 9th century. By 1000, chess had spread throughout both Muslim Iberia and Latin Europe. Adopted by the Muslim world after the conquest of Persia, it underwent modifications, with the term "checkmate" deriving from the Persian shāh māt, meaning "the king is helpless." Around 1200, the rules of shatranj began to be modified in southern Europe, and by 1475, several major changes shaped the game into its present form.
