So from India, it travelled to Persia(Iran), then after Arab conquest of Persia, Arabs learnt about the game. From them, it slowly spread to Europe and Central Asia. Chaturanga(Sanskrit) became Chatraanj(Arabic) and then Chess(English). It also had a different route where it spread to South East Asia and China and eventually Japan. Shikamaru from Naruto used to be a master of Japanese version of this game.

It's a beautiful video, but it has some mistakes, like the dark square on the bottom right corner of the board 3:19 Another mistake is the mention that Kasparov lost to Deep Blue, period. When in fact, he won the first match (4-2), and lost to the improved version dubbed 'Deeper Blue' one year later.

Put two granules in 1st block, four in 2nd, eight in 3rd and so on till 64th block. And eventually, the ministers found that it is not possible as the wheat demanded cannot be grown in the whole earth , if we take the oceans as lands too......

The scale is logarithmic. Every 400 points, one player is 10x better than the other. The chances of a 2000 ELO points player beating a 2400 ELO points is one in ten. Probably he or she would draw two and lose eight. 700 ELO points separating the best player and the best machine, its almost 1:100 chance. My rating is 1200, roughtly 1682 points between me and Magnus Carlsen, 1:10.000!
