When the came was first invented, it was known as Chaturanga , which meant 4 Divisions. Next, the game spread to the Persian Empire where the term "Chess", ( Derived from the word Shah), Which meant King. The term Checkmate also originated in Persia. "Checkmate", ( Derived from the word Shah Mat), Which meant The King Has No Hope. After that, when it was introduced to the Arabic, it was frequently used in Political discussions. Many leaders learned the game and played it.

Everyone needs to vote on this. We are very close to 250 members so when we hit it, I was thinking that maybe we could have a Puzzle Battle tournament (Bracket Elimination) as a special. If we do this, winner will get 20 trophies If you want it, react with a smiley. If not, react with a sad face I will post the pairings along with other admins and Super admins Tell me results of the matches and I will update everything. Post them with a reply to an announcement I will make once we have finalized that this will be happening --- @amka03

hello

By the 7th Century, Chaturanga* was Flourishing in North West India. How it evolved is quite unclear. The rules of the game were depicted differently in other regions than it's originating area. For Example: In the East, carried by Buddhist pilgrims, Silk Road traders, and others, it was transformed into a game with inscribed disks that were often placed on the intersection of the lines of the board rather than within the squares. About 750 CE chess reached China, and by the 11th century it had come to Japan and Korea. Chinese Chess, the most popular version of the Eastern game, has 9 files and 10 ranks as well as a boundary—the river, between the 5th and 6th ranks—that limits access to the enemy camp and makes the game slower than its Western cousin. Later, in Europe, A form of chaturanga or shatranj made its way to Europe by way of Persia, the Byzantine Empire, and, perhaps most important of all, the expanding Arabian empire. The oldest recorded game, found in a 10th-century manuscript, was played between a Baghdad historian, believed to be a favorite of three successive caliphs, and a pupil. Chess Set Design: The appearance of the pieces has alternated between simple and ornate since chaturanga times. The simple design of pieces before 600 CE gradually led to figurative sets depicting animals, warriors, and noblemen. But Muslim sets of the 9th–12th centuries were often nonrepresentational and made of simple clay or carved stone following the Islamic prohibition of images of living creatures. The return to simpler, symbolic shatranj pieces is believed to have spurred the game’s popularity by making sets easier to make and by redirecting the players’ attention from the intricate pieces to the game itself. Stylized sets, often adorned with precious and semi-precious stones, returned to fashion as the game spread to Europe and Russia. Playing boards, which had monochromatic squares in the Muslim world, began to have alternating black and white, or red and white, squares by 1000 CE and were often made of fine wood or marble. Peter I (the Great) of Russia had special campaign boards made of soft leather that he carried during military efforts. The king became the largest piece and acquired a crown and sometimes an elaborate throne and mace. The knight’s close identification with the horse dates back to chaturanga. The pawn, as the lowest in power and social standing, has traditionally been the smallest and least representational of the pieces. The queen grew in size after 1475, when its powers expanded, and changed from a male counselor to the king’s female consort. The bishop was known by different names—“fool” in French and “elephant” in Russian, for example—and was not universally recognized by a distinctive mitre until the 19th century. Depiction of the rook also varied considerably. In Russia it was usually represented as a sailing ship until the 20th century. Elsewhere it was a warrior in a chariot or a castle turret. The standard for modern sets was established about 1835 with a simple design by an Englishman, Nathaniel Cook. After it was patented in 1849, the design was endorsed by Howard Staunton, then the world’s best player; because of Staunton’s extensive promotion, it subsequently became known as the Staunton pattern. Only sets based on the Staunton design are allowed in international competition today. Glossary *Chaturanga is an old Indian two-player board game that was invented at least 1,500 years ago and is believed to be the earliest predecessor of the game of chess. The Arabians adapted it to a game they called shatranj , which was later embraced by the Europeans during the Medieval Period and, after a few modifications, is now known as chess.
