     History of Chess
    Chess has a long and storied history. The game has changed quite a bit from its
    earliest forms in India. The modern iteration we enjoy today wasn't known until the 16th
    century. There were no clocks, and the pieces were not standardized until the 19th century.
    Chess, as we know it today, was born out of the Indian game chaturanga before the 600s AD.
    The game spread throughout Asia and Europe over the coming centuries, and eventually
    evolved into what we know as chess around the 16th century. One of the first masters of the
    game was a Spanish priest named Ruy Lopez. Although he didn't invent the opening named
    after him, he analyzed it in a book he published in 1561. Chess theory was so primitive back
    then that Lopez advocated the strategy of playing with the sun in your opponent's eyes.

    The 19th century also marked the introduction of chess clocks to competitive


    play. Before chess clocks became the norm, a single game could last up to 14 hours!
    With the standardization of chess sets and introduction of chess clocks,
    the equipment needed for modern matches and tournaments were set
    in place. Chess, itself, was developing greatly during the 1800s. The most
    famous games of this time period were swashbuckling attacking games -
    strong defensive ideas hadn't been learned yet. If a player wasn't sacrificing
    their pieces right and left trying to checkmate their opponent in a violent
    manner, then it wasn't a fun game! It was during this attacking era in chess that the American
    player Paul Morphy entered the scene.

     Equipment of Chess
    Equipment’s of Chess are the most important in the modern-day chess. Chess is
    an early game. For this, it saw a number of evolutions. All the equipments in chess are
    the tangible items. The equipments in chess are chess pieces, chessboard, chess clock
    and table.

    1. Chess box
    Chess box is a container for holding chess pieces. It is most commonly made of
    wood. But some of the chess boxes are made up of plastic. The internal box
    configuration can be individual slots for each chess piece, one divider to separate
    the white and black pieces or no divider with the chess pieces mixed together.
    The external chess box is typically rectangular in shape, but can be done in a
    variety a shape including a coffer top or sliding drawers.

    2. Chess clock
    It is dual clock with buttons to stop one clock while starting the other, so that the
    two clocks never run simultaneously. Chess clocks were first used extensively in
    tournament chess in Europe. Later it came to India during the British era. It was
    first used in London 1883 tournament. The analog clocks are equipped with a
    flag that falls to indicate the exact moment the player's time has expired. The
    analog clocks use mechanical buttons. Pressing the button of the clock on one
    player's side physically stops the movement of that player's clock and releases
    the hold on the opponents.

    3. Chess table
    A chess table is a table, made up of wood or any material. It has the features to
    make it useful for playing the game of chess. A chess board is usually integral to
    the table top and often two drawers are provided to hold the pieces when not in
    use. Chess tables can be extremely decorative, well made and potentially
    expensive pieces of furniture in colonial India. The most chess tables have the
    board inlaid or engraved though cheaper tables may have it painted on. A chess
    table is not necessary to play chess and is not restricted only to playing chess.

    4. Chessboard
    Chessboard is the type of checkerboard. It is used in the classic board game
    chess, and consists of 64 squares which consist of eight rows and eight columns
    and 32 pieces.
