The game first originated from India, before the 6th century AD. The game spread from India to Persia quite quickly. When Persia was conquered by the Arabs, chess then spread to the Muslim world and then on to Southern Europe. Originally the game was called chaturanga that translates to four divisions. The four divisions were represented by the pieces that evolved into the modern pawn, knight, bishop and rook. Deluxe chess sets have 1 king, 1 queen, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights and 8 pawns.
