Arguably, chess originated in India or in China. According to a legend, chess was invented around 200 BC by a Chinese commander as a battle simulator. Another version claims that chess was invented in the 7th century AD as an evolution of the Indian game chaturanga.
The word chess originates from the term checkmate, which, in turn, is derived from the Persian term “shaah maat”. Chess was popular in Persia and the term “shaah maat” (“the king has fallen” in Persian) was used in Persia for checkmate. Later, a shortening of the word “checkmate” produced the word “chess”.
Some of chess coaches believe that basic chess training can start at an age of 4 or 5. However, most chess teachers agree that the age of 7 or 8 is the best time to start. The younger a child starts learning chess, the faster they can learn.
The Indian predecessor of chess was called chaturanga. The word means “four arms” in Sanskrit, as the game was based on the division of the ancient Indian army into infantry, cavalry, elephants and chariots. These divisions correspond to today’s chess’s pawns, knights, bishops and rooks.
As there is no exact evidence, both China and India claim to be the homeland of chess. According to a legend, chess was invented around 200 BC by a Chinese commander as a battle simulator. Another version claims that chess was invented in the 7th century AD as an evolution of the Indian game chaturanga.
