CHESS

Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played "long, long ago" Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400 The name "chess" is interesting When one player is attacking the other's king, he says in English "check"; when the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says "check mate" These words come from Persian

"Shah mat" means "the king is dead" That is the game is over and one player has won
