   The history of chess spans some 1500 years. The earliest predecessors   
   of the game originated in India, prior to the 6th century AD. From   
   India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia,   
   chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently, through the   
   Moorish conquest of Hispania, spread to Southern Europe. In Europe,   
   the game evolved into its current form in the 15th century. In the   
   second half of the 19th century, modern tournament play began, and the   
   first world chess championship was held in 1886. The 20th century saw   
   great leaps forward in chess theory and the establishment of the World   
   Chess Federation (FIDE). Developments in the 21st century include the   
   employment of computers for analysis, team consultations, and online   
   gaming.
