5. History of World Chess
Chess had originated in India and from there traveled to China and also through Arab world to Europe. There are historical references that in India chess was used as a tool to teach military strategy to Indian princes. That is probably how chess acquired its nickname: the Royal Game.
The game Chaturanga probably evolved into its current form around 600 AD during the Gupta Empire in India. In the 7th century, it was adopted as Shatranj in Sassanid Persia, which in turn was the form that brought chess to late-medieval Europe. Sanskrit caturaṅga is abahuvrihi compound, meaning "having four limbs or parts" and in epic poetry often means "army". The name itself comes from a battle formation mentioned in the Indian epic Mahabharata, referring to four divisions of an army, viz. elephants, chariots, cavalry, andinfantry.Chaturanga was played on an 8x8 uncheckered board, called Ashtāpada
From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Russia & Southern Europe from Middle east. In Europe, the game evolved into its current form in the 15th century. The first modern chess tournament was held in London in 1851.
