Where did chess really come from?

Under an ancient banyan tree, young Priya and Arjun ask Swami Ananda a simple question - and unlock a story fifteen hundred years in the making.

Travel back to ancient India, where a wise royal advisor turned the four divisions of a great army - foot soldiers, cavalry, war elephants, and thundering chariots - into a game played on sixty-four squares: Chaturanga. The foot soldiers became the Pawns. The cavalry became the Knights. The war elephants became the Bishops, and the thundering chariots became the Rooks. And at the center of it all stood the King and his Minister - because the game's inventor didn't want to build a weapon. He wanted to build a teacher.
