Chess
Originally uploaded by James Wellock.
The game chess oringinated in India and evolved from a game called Shaturanga, in about AD 300. Since then many variants of the game have been palyed, Shatranj in Persia, Tamerkane's Chess in Mogul, Courier Chess in Germany, Siang K'i in China and Sho-gi in Japan. It wasn't until the 15th and 16th Centuries that the chess we know today was born and even after that it still evolved through time throughout Europe. Today it is very much a game of great intelligence and is seen to be a test for any willing individual, be it physical or now digital thanks to the computer and internet.
