Chess Origins:

Delve into the rich history of chess, originating in northwest India in the 6th century as chaturaṅga, meaning four divisions. This early form included the infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, evolving into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook. The game journeyed along the Silk Road, reaching Western Europe and Russia by the 9th century. By the year 1000, chess had spread throughout both Muslim Iberia and Latin Europe. Chaturaṅga was embraced by the Muslim world after the conquest of Persia, where it was renamed. The term "checkmate" is derived from the Persian shāh māt, meaning "the king is helpless." Around 1200, the rules of shatranj started to be modified in southern Europe, and around 1475, several major changes shaped the game into its present form.
