These two forms appear in older Castilian as acedrex, and this word is simply the Arabic ash-shaṭranj, the shaṭranj, in a European dress. These terms are the common names for the game of chess in their respective languages.

Chess is known as a tool for military strategy; the first record of our chess dates back to the 7th century; Legend has it that the origin of the game dates back a century. A new game with two main features was born. The game was initially known as Chaturanga – However, with the spread of the Sassanid dynasty to Persia, "Chess" derived from "Shah", meaning king and "Checkmate" derived from "Shahmat" Chess was introduced to the Arab world.

Diplomats and courtiers used chess terminology to describe political power. In China, chess pieces were placed at the intersection of squares on the board, Not in them, like Go in a native strategy game. And in Japanese chess, the captured parts can be used by enemy players. However, it was in Europe that chess took its modern form.

By 1000 C. E., the play became part of court education. Chess was used as a parable For different social classes to play an appropriate role. At the same time, the church remained suspicious of the game. 

In France, chess was even temporarily banned. But the game has spread. Chess theory was born. The Enlightenment moved the game from the court to the coffee shop. Chess was now considered an expression of creativity, Encouraging bold movements and dramatic plays. 

However, with the emergence of formal competitive play in the second half of the 19th century, Chess has a new geopolitical meaning. Chess was now considered an expression of creativity, Encouraging bold movements and dramatic plays. This "romantic" style culminated in the immortal space of 1851. Where Adolf Anderssen managed his checkmate 
After sacrificing his Queen and both Luke, however, the emergence of formal competitive play in the second half of the 19th century. Strategic calculations meant that they would eventually defeat dramatic talent. And with the intensification of international competition. Chess has a new geopolitical meaning. During the Cold War, The Soviet Union spent many resources developing chess talent. Dominate the championship for the rest of the century. But a player who confuses Russian rule. He was not a citizen of another country. 
But an IBM computer called Deep Blue. Chess computers have been developed for decades, 
But the 1997 Deep Blue victory over Garry Kasparov. But keep in mind that Kasparov won the first encounter 4-2. After that, he lost 3.5-2.5. Hence, the head-to-head results are 6.5-5.5 to Kasparov in 12 games. Kasparov demanded a rematch after the second time, which IBM declined. Still, the world sees IBM and Deep Blue as the sole winners. Deep Blue was capable of evaluating 200 million positions per second, twice as fast as the 1996 version. In 1997 Deep Blue was upgraded again to become the 259th most powerful supercomputer according to the TOP500 list, achieving 11.38 GFLOPS on the parallel high-performance LINPACK benchmark. A human may calculate maybe around 10 to 12 moves ahead max. Even Gary Kasparov has stated on a radio show that he can calculate somewhere around 10-20 moves ahead in a particularly tough position but not on a frequent basis. Kasparov played below his strength in this match. He was trying to second-guess the computer all the time, and play anti-computer moves. In 2003 he played against two far stronger computers and drew both matches. Garry Kasparov's phenomenal performance proves that Garry Kasparov is one of the strongest and most dominant Chess players of all time.

 But regardless, It was the first time that the machine had defeated the seated champion. Today, chess software can consistently beat the best human player. But just like the games, they learned. 
These machines are the result of human ingenuity. And perhaps the same invention will lead us out of this apparent checkmate. But despite all this, we still enjoy competitive Chess regardless of whether engines like Stockfish or Komodo. And LeelaZero. They are helpful when it comes to analysing and improving your games. It also gave an excellent performance when it comes to analysing openings. Engines enhanced Chess better.
