The History of Chess

Variations in Rules

A Comparison of Modern Chess and Ancient Chess

As chess spread throughout the world, the rules changed just a little for each country, like it adapted to the country it spread to. The game pieces developed slightly different purposes in the game in different countries.

Modern and ancient chess are not that different. Chess pieces are similar, even though they might have different purposes. In general, the ancient arrangement of pieces are close to the modern version.

The Spread of Chess

The form of chess which arrived in Europe was already being played in Persia approximately 1,350 years ago, when that area of the world was conquered by Muslim armies in the mid 7th century. Muslims took a liking to the game, and it became popular among them. This was a contributer to the spread of chess.

Why I Chose This Topic

Chess has been around for thousands of years, but the origins of chess are a mystery. Text containing information about chess is few, and not many chess pieces have been found. This popular game has unkown origins!

Chess is an ancient art that many people spend much time mastering. In my book, playing chess with other people was calming to the main character. It also brought him closer to people he normally would not have bonded with.
