http://www.chess-poster.com/english/history.htm
Early Chess The true origin of the game of Chess is not clear. Some Legends attribute its invention to the Biblical King Solomon, or to the Greek god Hermes, or to the Chinese mandarin Hansing. But most probably originated in India sometime around the 6th or 7th century AD. From there the game crossed into Persia (now Iran), then to Europe. The word Chess is thought to be derived from "shah," the Persian word for king, and the word checkmate from shah mat, meaning "the king is dead."
The earliest written mention of a Chesslike game appeared around 600 AD, and the fact that it was mentioned without an explanation suggests that it was already well known by that time. Chess is one of a group of games related from Chaturanga, a game believed to have originated in India in the 6th century or perhaps earlier, which itself may be related to a much older Chinese game. Chaturanga is a Sanskrit word referring to the four arms (or divisions) of an Indian army: elephants, cavalry, chariots, and infantry, from which come the four types of pieces in that game. It was not only two quoted texts that strengthened the belief for China as the birthplace of Chess, but also the circular bronze and ivory counters for the astrological Hsiang Hsi and for the war game Hsiang Chhi found during excavations. Similar finds are totally lacking in India. Indeed, India is a Chess Sahara Desert for archaeological finds, written documents, literature, early references, legends or anything akin.

13th May, 2003 CHESS
A BIG BOOM IN THE BRAIN GAME D.K. Bharadwaj * Chess, the cerebral game of 64 squares is India’s unique gift to the world. For centuries this game of mental warfare has been a favourite of countless people all over the world. People from all walks of life ranging from the intellectuals to the common peasants have played it, enjoyed it and adored it fervently. Originated in ancient India, when the game was known as Chaturanga , it is symbolic of the four units or divisions of the erstwhile armies comprising elephants, horses, chariots and soldiers on foot. From India, it reached Persia (Iran) where Chaturanga became Shatranj . From there it spread to the Arab countries and Europe and acquired its present universal name, chess. It is said that chess has been played in Britain since the thirteenth century. In the West, it developed on the scientific lines and gradually became a keenly contested competitive sport. A Grassroots Game It is ironical that although best suited to the Indian psyche, chess remained largely neglected in the land of its origin. Whatever little support the players received came from the princes of the erstwhile princely states and a few benevolent wealthy patrons. The modern rules of the game were introduced by the British in the 19th century. Pandit Trivengadacharya of Pune (the author of

mir sultan khan didn t learn the international game of chess (he knew Indianchess) until age 21. Two years later he was the AllIndia champion.
http://www.academicchess.com/ratings/ageandmaster.shtml
Most chess masters become masters by learning the game of chess at an early age. Seldom does a player become a master after learning the game later in life. There are a few exceptions. However, most strong masters began at a very early age.
Former world champion Jose Capablanca began to play chess at the age of four. He wrote that he learned chess by watching his father play when he had just passed his fourth birthday. He even beat his father in his first game at age four.
Former world champion Anatoly Karpov was taught the moves of chess when he was four years old. By age 15 he was a master and later won the World Junior Championship. He became the world's youngest grandmaster in 1970 at the age of 19.
Former world champion Boris Spassky learned the game in the Urals at the age of five during World War II. After the war he joined the Pioneer Palace in Leningrad and spent five hours a day every day on chess. In college he took up journalism to give him the most time for chess. By age 18 he had won the World Junior Championship, took 3rd place in the USSR Championship, and qualified as a Candidate for the World championship.
Former world woman champion Nona Gaprindashvili learned at age five after watching her five chess-playing brothers. She won the world's women chess championship when she was 21.

After winning the All-Indian championship in 1928 he played in the 1929 British Championship and to everyone's surprise he won the tournament. A brilliant achievement considering he had very little experience of the Western game and could not read or speak English. He again won the British Championship in 1932 and 1933. He played first board for the British Olympiad team of 1930 (65%), 1931 (68%) and 1933 (50%). At Hastings 1930-31 he came 3rd, beating Capablanca in their individual game.

    Loser of more games of chess on time than any other master. In one tournament he lost all 13 games on time. He once spent 45 minutes before making his first move, got in time trouble and lost. In another event he lost a game on time in 13 moves. The time control was 45 minutes in 2 1/2 hours. Salgado, Rob

The two candidates, Isaac Kashdan and Arnold Denker, declined. The USCF raised $1,000 for Kashdan to play, but he felt that would not cover his expenses. Denker would have had to finance the entire journey himself. Seven players represented the USSR in the twenty man field and five of them finished in the top six places. Saunders, Elaine

A majority of players refused to play after a Chinese player resigned a drawn game and lost on time to other Chinese players. The player was watching other games and made no attempt to make time control against the front-runner, Xu Jun. FIDE then nullified the tournament. Later, President Campomanes reversed the decision, and ruled that the results would stand.

    Chessplayer who composed chess problems when he was blind. He was responsible for the popularity of the two-mover in the early 20th century. By coincidence, a problem submitted to a composing tournament was almost identical to another problem submitted by H. Lane. They both featured the same key move. By a greater coincidence, H. Lane was also blind. Mackenzie, George (1837-1891)

    Mechanical engineer who bought the Turk from Wolfgang von Kempelen's son. He supposedly invented the metronome and was a good friend of Beethoven. Prince Eugene de Beauharnais bought the Turk from Maelzel in 1811 for 30,000 francs and Maelzel gave part of the money to Beethoven. In 1817 he bought the Turk back from the Prince for the same sum. No cash was handed over to the Prince, but Maelzel was to pay from any profit he might make. The Prince died but his heirs sued Maelzel for the balance. Maelzel fled to America with the Turk to escape the debts and lawsuits. Maelzel was buried at sea in 1838 after dying on a ship bound from Cuba to America. Magazine, Chess

In 1929 his patron and master (these were the days of British colonial rule in India) brought him to London, and he won the British championship a few months later. From 1930-1933, he was an active participant in the international tournament scene, and he didn’t just participate; he was one of the best players in the world. According to Hooper and Whyld’s The Oxford Companion to Chess, Sultan Khan was one of the world’s 10 best players at the time; according to Jose Capablanca, he was a genius.
    Today we’ll look at a game by this genius, a win in the Hastings 1930/31 tournament against none other than Capablanca himself! In an impressive technical display that evokes more recent legends like Tigran Petrosian and Anatoly Karpov, Sultan Khan manages to keep Capa’s pieces either inactive or meaninglessly active from the opening all the way through the end of the game. That’s the sort of thing one expects in a master vs. amateur game, but to do so against one of the all-time greats is remarkable, especially given his own relative inexperience.

    Despite the persistent grumble of the Indian sweep last year, it wasn't their first title win. In the early 1930s, Mir Sultan Khan, one of the greatest natural talents the game has seen, burst on to the chess scene for a meteoric career lasting nearly five years. Yet, in that short space of time, he established himself as one of the top half-dozen players in the world - and despite being a mere servant in the household of his master and patron, Colonel Naweb Sir Umar Hayat Khan.
    Coming from India with no command of English (and reputed to have never studied the game), he won the British Championship three times; and defeated Tartakower, Rubinstein and the invincible Capablanca in international events. After returning to India in 1933, he never played another competitive game, and lived out his days as a simple farmer after being bequeathed a small farmstead on the death of his master.
    Such is the stringent selection procedures for the Indians, this year defending champion RB Ramesh was missing from their 13-strong line-up - the reason being he failed to make the cut this year to the national side that would have secured his ticket to Edinburgh! And, with India's No.2 Krishnan Sasikiran opting to play in the Politiken Cup in Copenhagen, the player to look out for this year is teenage ace Pentyala Harikrishna.
