Chess is a game of strategy and tactics that has been played for centuries. It is believed to have originated in northern India during the Gupta Empire in the 6th century AD, and it was later introduced to Persia, where it evolved into the game we know today. Chess then spread to the Islamic world, Europe, and eventually to the rest of the world.

Chess is a game of skill, and success requires a combination of strategic planning, tactical awareness, and good decision-making. Players must think ahead and anticipate their opponent’s moves while trying to set traps and create opportunities for attack. There are many different opening strategies and variations, and each game presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities.

He quickly established himself as one of the top players in the world, winning tournaments and defeating top players from around the globe. In 1921, he became the world champion by defeating Emanuel Lasker.
