- The Chess can be traced back nearly 1500 years ago, although the earliest origins are uncertain. Some Investigators think that the first variation of the game probably originated in India, before the 6th century AD; a minority of Historians believe the game originated in China. From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, Chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the 15th century.
-Competitive chess became visible in 1834 with the LaBourdonnais-McDonnerl matches, and the 1851 London Chess Tournament raised concerns about the time taken by the players to deliberate their moves, On recording time it was found that the time taken by the players often took hours to analyze moves, and one player took as much as two hours and 20 minutes to think over a single move at the London Tournament.
- Above all the things you know about chess, I will be citing some that maybe you didn't knew about!
* Did you know the number of possible ways of playing the first four moves for both sides in a game of chess is 318,979,564,000?
*The Longest game of chess that is theoretically possible is 5,949 moves!
*The First chessboard with alternating light and dark squares (as it appears today) was made in Europa in 1090.
*According to the Americas' Foundation of Chess, there are 169,518,829,100,544,000,000,000,000,000 (Approximately 1.70x10 29) ways to play the first 10 moves of a game of chess. And they thought a computer would solve chess!
*The longest chess game ever was I.Nikolic - Arsovic, Belgrade 1989, which ended in 269 moves. The game was a draw.
*There are 400 different possible positions after one move each. There are 72,084 different possible positions after two moves each. There are over 9 million different possible positions after three moves each. There are over 318 billion different possible options after four moves each. The number of distinct 40- move games in chess is far greater than the number of electrons in the observable universe. The number of electrons is approximately 10*79, while the number of unique chess games is 10*120.
