Classic chess derives its name from two Persian words, "check" and "mate," meaning master of death. A predecessor of chess called chaturanga originated in India in the 5th century, and a modern version of the game appeared in Russia in the 9th and 10th centuries. The beloved game goes by different names in different countries: in England and America it's known as chess, in Spain as el axadrez, in Germany as schach, and in France as echecs.
