There is no end to the controversy over where the first game of chess originated. Some ancient fonts give an idea of the early period of the game of chess, as well as traces of some chess pieces as evidence of the original existence of the game. But there is no lack of speculation, theory and opinion about this. Most historians think that India, Persia or China is the birthplace of chess. But our knowledge of chess is not limited here. The form of chess that entered Europe was originally played in Persia about 1,350 years ago. At that time, in the middle of the seventeenth century, the area was under Muslim rule. The game became hugely popular in the Muslim world, and with the spread of Islam, the game spread to North America and Europe.
Despite various claims by different nations, after much research, researchers have agreed that the game originated in the Indian subcontinent. A type of game similar to chess was found in ancient Egypt in 3,000 BC, called chess. However, the game of chess called Chaturanga originated in India before the sixth century, and the Gupta Empire still exists in India. There was a reason to call chess Chaturanga then - the game consisted of elephants, horses, chariots and soldiers. But it took a long time for the four-way game to become 'chess', the sea had to be crossed. The question is normal, then how did the game spread?
