Chess = शतरंज
Chess ka Hindi naam शतरंज (shatranj) hai, aur yeh naam ek lambi yatra ki nishaani hai. Game ka sabse purana roop चतुरंग (chaturanga) tha, jo India mein lagbhag chhathi shatabdi mein khela jaata tha. Chaturanga ka matlab hai sena ke chaar ang: paidal sena, ghudsawar, haathi aur rath. Wahan se game Persia gaya, jahan uska naam shatranj pada, aur phir Europe mein aaj waale rules bane. Isliye jab aap shatranj khelte hain, aap wahi game khel rahe hain jo duniya chess ke naam se khelti hai: aur uski jadein yahin ki hain.
