The early 6th-century version, known as \"chaturaṅga\", encompassed four divisions symbolic of infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry. As it spread via the Silk Road, the game underwent cultural adaptations and rule modifications. By the late 15th century, the modern version of chess as we recognize it had emerged. The term \"checkmate\" finds its origin in the Persian phrase \"shāh māt,\" symbolizing the king's defeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMarble Chess Set:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dive into a game of strategy with this 12\" Black Zebra and White Marble Chess Set - a celebration of art, history, and competition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battlingbladess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41214110597292,"sku":"800CBZ15BA","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/products\/zebra12inch_29bda109-35da-42d4-9902-1eeda11742f1.jpg?v=1645064944","url":"https:\/\/battlingbladess.shop\/products\/marble-chess-set-black-zebra-and-white-12","provider":"Battlingbladess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
