And considering how big the betting world is today, it also shouldn’t surprise anyone that, unlike back in the day, we have a plethora of tournaments running across the globe.Īlthough there is a chance that people were betting on chess in the 6th century, the chess betting world looked much different from how it is today. Nowadays, we have many major chess tournaments, such as the world championship and various big events featuring the world’s elite players. The most important date is 1851, when the first chess tournament – the Immortal Game – was held in London, UK. And as the game spread, new rules were added, changing the game of chess to reach the final form we know today. However, the game became increasingly popular, and it quickly spread across the globe.

Interestingly, chess has not changed much over the years, and it has kept the same rules, game pieces, and board. While there are no clear dates of when the first chess – or variation of chess – was played, many scholars believe that the game originated in the 6th century in the Gupta Empire of India.
