Chess originated in India during the Gupta Empire around the 6th century AD. It was known as “Chaturanga” and evolved over time into the game we know today.
Chess, as we know it today, was born out of the Indian game chaturanga before the 600s AD. The game spread throughout Asia and Europe over the coming centuries, and eventually evolved into what we know as chess around the 16th century.
