The Origins of Chess
Chess traces its roots to Chaturanga, a game that emerged in India around the 6th century CE. As the game travelled beyond India, it evolved through different cultures and traditions before becoming the chess we recognise today.
Along its journey, the game was known by different names, including Chaturanga in India, Chatrang in Persia and Shatranj in the Arabic-speaking world. Its long history reflects how a game of strategy crossed borders and connected generations.
