Chess is a logic board game with special figures on a 64-square board for two opponents, combining elements of art (including chess composition), science and sports.It is believed that the history of chess is at least one and a half thousand years old. There are many versions known to explain the development of chess and its spread throughout the world - Indian, Byzantine, etc. According to the most widespread of them, the first known game-progenitor, chaturanga, appeared in India no later than the 6th century AD, because then the Persian shah Khosrov I Anushirvan (531-579) received its rules from there. Once in the neighboring countries of India, chaturanga underwent a number of changes. Its descendant in the Arab East was shatranj, and in Southeast Asia - xiangqi (China), makruk (Thailand) and shogi (Japan). Shatranj in the IX-X centuries from the Arabs came to Europe and Africa.Hope you like the chess pieces I made
