Chess originated in India in or about the 6th century AD when it was known as Chaturanga. It was moved across the world by conquering armies and well received everywhere. By the 1200s, the 'modern game' was taken to Scandinavia by the vikings.

The current form of the game emerged in Southern Europe during the second half of the 15th century after evolving from a similar, much older game of Indian origin.
