The Game of Kings. Known as “the Game of Kings”, chess has a long and rich history, having evolved over time to reach the intricate masterwork of strategy we know today. The origins of chess can be traced back to central Asia more than 1500 years ago. A recognizable version of chess called “chaturanga” was played in India before 600 AD. Chess then spread to Persia, and thence to the Muslim world after the Islamic conquest of Persia in the 600s. Traveling west to Europe via the Silk Road, chess derives its Western name from the Persian word “shah” (king). The word checkmate is derived from the Persian “shah mat” (the king is dead). The oldest known chess manual was in Arabic and dates to about 840 AD, titled. (The Book of Chess), written by al-Adli ar-Rumi (800-870 AD), a renowned Arab chess player. This manuscript is now lost, but is referenced in later works on chess. In Europe, the king became the largest piece, a reflection of its relative importance. Nonetheless, the king could move only one square per turn, albeit in any direction. Today, the popularity of chess continues unabated, with over 600 million people playing each year.
