Chess is a two-player board game played on a chessboard, a square-checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. The game's present form emerged in Europe during the second half of the 15th century, an evolution of an older Indian game, Shatranj. Theoreticians have developed extensive chess strategies and tactics since the game's inception. Computers have been used for many years to create chess-playing programs, and their abilities and insights have contributed significantly to modern chess theory. Organized competitive chess began during the 16th century. The first official World Chess Champion, Wilhelm Steinitz, claimed his title in 1886; the current World Champion is Viswanathan Anand from India
The picture is a frozen moment. One of the wonderful images of The British Library is depicting figures labelled black or white, around a chess board. The Image was taken from A Game at Chess as it was Acted nine days together at the Globe on the bankside. It was originally published/produced in London, 1625 ?. Share the joy with me
