Chess for Everyone

December 7, 2019 By Zola Zeester Leave a Comment

It’s the ultimate strategy board game played by millions of people, with origins going back to the 6th Century in Eastern India.  From there, the game spread east and west along the Silk Road trade route, and evolved into an organized, contemporary “mind sport” with structured international and national leagues, tournaments, and congresses governed by the Federation Internationale des Échecs (FIDE) as well as thousands of tournaments, matches, and festivals held each year for players at every level throughout the world.  In the early 1990’s, online play with opponents around the globe became possible via connection to internet chess servers, e.g.  Quick Guide to Free Internet Chess Server .
