Chess Origins and Legacy

Chess, a game of ancient origins, began in northwest India during the 6th century as chaturaṅga, symbolizing the four divisions of an army. This game, echoing the battles of infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, evolved into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook. Spreading through the Silk Road, it reached Europe and Russia by the 9th century, undergoing transformations over centuries. The term "checkmate" hails from the Persian "shāh māt," meaning "the king is helpless." Around 1475, significant rule changes in southern Europe molded chess into its contemporary form.
