Who Invented the Game of Chess?

In the ancient halls of Strategy Sphere, curious scholar Alex wondered who first cast the spell that became the game of chess—a game of kings, queens, and endless tactics. He visited Historian Harmony Zoe, who explained that chess is believed to have originated in northern India around the 6th century, evolving from an earlier game called chaturanga. Imagine a board game that began as a battle simulation and slowly transformed through centuries as it journeyed along ancient trade routes to Persia, then to the Islamic world, and finally into medieval Europe. Experts from the Historical Game Guild say that no single person invented chess; rather, it evolved over time, absorbing cultural magic from many civilizations. Zoe advised that the rich tapestry of chess’s history reflects a global collaboration of minds and traditions—a true testament to the enduring power of strategic thought. Alex learned that every move on the chessboard is a nod to thousands of years of human ingenuity and creativity. And so, in Strategy Sphere, chess stands as a timeless game—a magical blend of history, art, and intellectual wonder that continues to inspire players around the world.
