There is a history of chess

While our earliest records of chess are in the 7th century,legend tells that the game’s origins lie a century earlier.Supposedly, when the youngest prince of the Gupta Empire was killed in battle,his brother devised a way of representingthe scene to their grieving mother.Set on the 8x8 ashtapada board used forother popular pastimes,a new game emerged with two key features:different rules for moving different types of pieces,and a single king piece whose fate determined the outcome.
