Chess game and why its good for you

Where chess originated

Most scholars agree that the game of chess originated in India in the fifth or sixth century AD. Two-handed chaturanga, Sanskrit for “the four branches of the army,” is the earliest known type of chess. The pieces were referred to as elephants, chariots, riders, and foot soldiers, as they were in actual Indian armies at the time. Chaturanga, unlike modern chess, was essentially a game of chance; the outcome was decided by how well you rolled the dice.
