Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Chaturanga is first known from the Gupta Empire in India around the 6th century CE. In the 7th century, it was adopted as chatrang (shatranj) in Sassanid Persia, which in turn was the form of chess brought to late-medieval Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chess. We all know chess was invented in India…the first time it is mentioned in a text is around the 6th century AD as ‘chaturanga’.
