Chaturang
More than two thousand years ago, people in India played a board game called chaturanga. This board game is said to be the beginning of chess.
Chaturanga means ‘four limbs`. It stood for the four parts of the army-the warriors who fought on horses, the charioteers an the infantry. Since the game was about the army and war plans, it was very popular with kings warriors and scholars.
Chaturanga was played by four people. Players sitting opposite each other were parters. Each player had four pieces- one for each group of the army. The players took turns to roll the die.
The number that appeared on the die told the players which piece they had to move . In those days, the die they used had four numbers on it, unlike the die used nowadays which has six numbers.
From India, the game spread to Persia. The Persian quickly learnt how to plat the game and even changed some of the rules. They called the new game shatranj.
