Hi guys we've come to a bad place..... This club, despite the help from friends, is not doing much and that's not so good because we just play games and that's it, no discussions or announcements, just games.... And so I thought maybe it's the topic of the club that's not going well, so consequently to change title and topic, like current affairs of today or politics.... Take your pick... You have to discuss with me whether to change the name or keep the same but help me put announcements and do more activities besides matches. If you want to change it tell me what you want to do it on. I repeat everyone write what you prefer.... Thank you

Chess is a very ancient game that has a long and interesting history. The game is thought to have originated in India, around the 6th century AD, under the name chaturanga. Chaturanga was a game that was played on a board similar to modern chess, but the rules and pieces were different. The name “chaturanga” comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “four divisions of the army”, and refers to the four categories of pieces: infantry (pawns), cavalry (horses), chariots (towers) and elephants (bishop). From there, the game spread to Persia, where it became known as shatranj. During the Islamic conquest of Persia, the game was adopted by Muslims and spread further into the Arab world, then into Europe. In Europe, during the Middle Ages, chess underwent major rule changes, particularly between the 15th and 16th centuries, when the moves of the pieces were modernised and stabilised into the form we know today. For example, the movement of the queen and bishop was modified, and the pawn gained the ability to move two squares on its first move. Why did chess come into being? Chess seems to have been originally conceived as a simulation of war. The game reflected military tactics and strategies, and the fact that the pieces represented different military units suggests that the purpose was educational, to teach nobles and warriors how to plan battles and think long-term. Over time, chess has become not only a game of strategy, but also a form of entertainment and a mental discipline that has spanned cultures and centuries, maintaining its popularity to this day. Chess, with its thousand-year history, is one of the most complex and fascinating board games in the world. As mentioned, their origin dates back to India in the 6th century AD, where the game chaturanga was played by the upper classes as a battle simulation. Initially, the rules were less precise than modern ones, but the concept of strategy and the use of different military units was already present. The pieces of chaturanga represented the forces of the Indian army: the horses, towers, soldiers and elephants, each with its own specific movement on the board. When the game arrived in Persia, it became known as shatranj, and here the rules were slightly modified. The Persians introduced the concept of the “check”, where the king had to be protected, and it became one of the key features of the game. During the expansion of Islam into the Middle East, the game spread further into the Arab world, where it was improved and adapted. Muslims translated the texts and rules, contributing to the preservation and spread of the game, which reached Europe via Spain and Italy. In the European Middle Ages, chess took on different forms, but it was between the 15th and 16th centuries that the most significant changes occurred. In particular, the queen gained the power to move in all directions on the chessboard, becoming the most powerful piece, and the bishop gained the ability to move over multiple squares, increasing the fluidity of the game. Other changes included the ability for pawns to advance two squares on their first move and the creation of the special move of the roque, which allowed the king to move strategically. The game evolved from a battle simulation into a mental challenge, in which players not only implemented strategies, but also developed skills of foresight, concentration and analysis. The world of chess thus became an arena of intelligence and skill, with challenges between grand masters and a tradition that has seen the birth of legendary champions over the centuries, such as Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov. Today, chess continues to be a game of prestige and a global sporting discipline, with international tournaments, millions of fans and a growing community of players.  THIS IS CHATURANGA
