‘Chaturanga’ is how chess was known as in Ancient India and it's origin can be traced to more than 10 centuries ago, for it indicates the four wings of the old Indian army which has Infantry, cavalry, Charioteers and Elephants. Incidentally when India is hosting the 44th Chess Olympiad at Chennai from July 28, for the very first time in close to a century, FIDE, the World body governing chess introduced the inaugural Torch Relay to celebrate and acknowledge India as the birthplace of chess. Henceforth, the torch Relay for every Olympiad will be flagged off in India and travel across the world before culminating at the host country.
