'''Chess''' is a recreational and competitive [[game]] for two players. The current form of the game emerged in Southern [[Europe]] in the second half of the [[15th century]] after evolving from similar, much older games of [[Directory:India|India]]n origin.

Today, chess is one of the world's most popular games, played by millions of people worldwide in [[club]]s, online, by [[correspondence]], in [[tournament]]s and informally.
