Origins and backdrop of chess
Like many of our fashionable board games, such as checkers (draughts) and backgammon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], chess originated sometime in the 1st millenium AD, somewhere onward the Silk Road that ran among Europe, Egypt, India and the Orient. Most historians trace its origins back to northern India or Afganistan sometime around 600 AD.
As an might anticipate, there is a agreeable deal of controversy in chess historians about both the date and area of the origin of chess. While some place its origins in China, the most common methodology is that the version of chess we are familiar with evolved from a game played in northern India called ashtapada. This game accustom one 8x8 board (favor ours), but had 4 actors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and moves were resolute by the throw of dice.
As some historians point out, the peerless functions of ashtapada, and its successor cried chataranga, were profoundly embedded in Indian culture of the period. The fact that it was a "four-handed" war game was consistent with the division of the country into numerous realms. And the use of dice to resolve moves was a reflection of the importance of Karma in Indian religious thought.
** Evolution into modern chess
The gradual exterior of assorted types of Indian military forces in the Indian board game understood for chataranga -- elephants, chariots, cavalry and soldiers -- was consistent with the transition of the game from a relatively simple "marathon" game to that of a battle game.
In a race game players do not capture or extinguish their opponents. If a player lands on the same square as an opponent, the antagonist would simply have to go back to the beginning and start over.
But when the principle of arrest or extinction was accepted -- where the captured opponent's chip namely taken off the board -- this involves a different game notion -- a different "idea set". And it was then equitable a stuff of time ahead different types of military forces, with different powers and values would be introduced.
This transition from race game to war game is important. But maybe the most premonitory evolutionary step -- and the one most laborious to annotate -- was the disposal of the dice as the method of determining moves. As Yuri Averbakh, a Russian chess historian, points out, this was not something that would happen "naturally" within a pure Indian environment.
As he says, "To change the Indian war game into chess it was necessary to discard away the dice. Unlike the previous stages which were typical for the evolutional way of the game`s development and were no contrary to the customs of the Indians and their religious beliefs, giving up dice was a radical, a revolutionary step along that no merely changed the game itself merely likewise its philosophy. In fact, that step meant the withdrawal from the conviction of Karma - the elementary principle of the Indian philosophy. Now the result relied fully above the players' will, ashore their alternative. They became complete masters of their fate."
According to Averbakh this would not have occurred without the influence of Greece above northern India. This influence extended back to Alexander the Great in the 4th centenary BC and amplified even beyond within what historians call the Indo-Greek Kingdom. This was a massive place including much of Afganistan and northern India which was vanquished at the Greco-Bactrian kind Demetrius in 180 BC.
This kingdom lasted for about 200 years in which time the district underwent a mysterious synthesis of Greek and Indian religion, culture, languages and symbols. As Wikipedia says,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "The Indo-Greek sovereigns appear to have accomplished a class of cultural syncretism with not equivalent in history, the consequences of which are still felt today."
The Greek influence was felt for hundreds of annuals behind the demise of the Indo-Greek Kingdom. According to Averbakh it was this Greek influence namely "helpd the Indians to make the ultimate tread because chess to emerge." In particular, he mentions that Greeks br
