The Legacy of Chess: Tracing its roots back to the 6th century in northwest India, chess started as 'chaturaṅga', denoting the four divisions of the army. As it journeyed through the Silk Road, it evolved and embraced various cultures, becoming the game we know today. The transformation from 'chaturaṅga' to 'shatranj' in Persia gave birth to the term "checkmate" from 'shāh māt'. The game further evolved in southern Europe around 1200, with pivotal changes in 1475, shaping modern chess.
