Review: 40719-1 – Traditional Chess Set

Chess has been around for a while. The first appearance dates back to 7th century India as a variation of chaturanga, although that game might be over 50000 years old. The game found its way through Persia and the Arab world into Europe. The rules have changed over time, with the current rules being established in the 15th century, but not standardized until the end of the 19th century.
