Chaturanga is an ancient Indian board game that is considered the predecessor of modern chess. It is played on an 8x8 grid, with two players each controlling 16 pieces, including a king, ministers, elephants, chariots, horses, and foot soldiers. The main goal is to checkmate the opponent's king, putting it in a position where it cannot escape capture. The pieces move in different ways, similar to how modern chess pieces move. Chaturanga was first played around the 6th century and is believed to have influenced the development of chess, spreading to Persia and then to Europe.
