'A Quick History of Chess: Origins and Evolution #chess

Did you know that chess originated in India? This game was called Chaturanga, played since the 6th century. Chaturanga means 'four divisions of the army' – infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariots. Chaturanga spread to Persia and became known as Shatranj. In Persia, the game got a new name: Shatranj, with the king and vizier as key pieces. Shatranj spread to the Arab world, then to Europe via Spain. In medieval Europe, chess became a game for nobility and kings. In the 15th century, chess saw major changes: the queen became the most powerful piece. The first chess tournament was held in 1851 in London. Today, chess is played by millions of people worldwide. From Chaturanga to modern chess, the game has continually evolved. Chess is not just a game, but also an art and strategy. Stay tuned to ChessMath for more chess history and tips.
