The History of Chess ♟️

Almost two thousand years ago a board-game was played in India. It was called Chaturanga. It was very popular among kings, warriors and scholars. Chaturanga means four limbs. It represents the four groups of the army: the warriors who fought on elephants, the cavalry, the charioteers and the infantry. From India the game went to Persia where it was called Shatranj. Some of the words we now use in chess were used in Persia. The term, 'checkmate', was earlier called 'Shah Mat' or 'the king is dead'. From Persia, the game went to Europe. The game was now being called chess.
