The modern game of chess evolved in the south of Europe, but has its roots in a much older game played in India and exported to Persia. As far as the historical record is concerned, we generally think of the game as having origins in India. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.

The immediate predecessor was played in India, about the 6th Century CE. Around 1200, it was modified somewhat, and took modern forms in the late 15th century. As writing became widespread, the rules became more formalized.

The origins of chess are in India. From there, it spread to the Muslim Empires of the Middle East, and went to Europe from there.
