Chess
Chess is a strategic two-player board game played on a checkered board with 64 squares, where the objective is to checkmate the opponent's king, meaning the king is under immediate attack (in check) and there is no legal move to remove it from the attack. It's believed to have originated in India around the 6th century CE as the game of Chaturanga, evolving into the chess we know today by the 16th century. Chess is a very old game with a history that goes back more than 1500 years. It is a great example of how art, science, and society can come together. It started in India and spread to Persia and the Islamic world before becoming popular in Europe, where it changed into the form it has now.some quotes on chess are
