Chess: Chess in ancient India was called chatur-anga. Later chatr-anga was changed was changed to shatranj the after to chess.

Another thing that was different about chature-anga was that it was played with dice. Chature-anga was played on a 8×8 uncheckered board. Te name of that uncheckered board was called Ashtapada. Check and mate meant “the king is dead”.

The Game chess was invented as a substitute of war. There were four sections on the chess board and those four sections represented four folded divisions of the Indian armies. Usually only the rich would play because it was considered a royal game and usually woman would not play only kings and rich men would play chatur-anga because it was like a betting game.
