Chess is a board game between two players. It is
sometimes called international chess or Western chess to distinguish it
from related games, such as xiangqi (Chinese chess) and shogi (Japanese
chess). The current form of the game emerged in Spain and the rest of
Southern Europe during the second half of the 15th century after
evolving from chaturanga, a similar but much older game of Indian
origin. Today, chess is one of the world's most popular games, played by
millions of people worldwide.
