The history of chess is about one and a half thousand years old. Probably the oldest known ancestor of chess is the Indian game chaturanga, borrowed by the Persians who modified it and called it caturaṅga. After the Arab conquest of Persia in the 7th century, šātranj spread within the Arab Caliphate, and from the Arabs it became known to Europeans. Chess acquired a modern look at the end of the 15th century, when the queen and bishop got the present moves, and before that - the pieces with limited mobility.

Note: The picture colour might be slightly different from real colour.
