Chess

On November 30, 2022, the Russian Post issued a postage stamp "Chess" as part of the "Sports" series.

The history of chess has about one and a half thousand years. Probably the oldest known ancestor of chess is the Indian game Chaturanga, adopted by the Persians, who modified it and called it Shatranj. After the Arab conquest of Persia in the 7th century, shatranj spread within the Arab Caliphate, and from the Arabs became known to Europeans.
