Chess was India's game to begin with. So how did India fall behind, and win it back? Most historians agree chess was born in India, as a war game, about 1,400 years ago. It left through Persia, the Arab world and Europe, and came back a different game, with a queen where India's game had a minister. For a long time India kept playing its own chess, and its first grandmaster came only in 1988. We follow the game from chaturanga and a Persian legend to Sultan Khan, Viswanathan Anand, a comedian's lockdown chess show, and D Gukesh, who defends his world title in Geneva this November.
