非常古老的技巧游戏,由32个棋子在64个方格的棋盘上,两人对弈,13世纪起源于古法语 esches "棋子",复数形式为 eschec "国际象棋游戏,棋盘; 将军"(参见 check (n.1)),因为这个游戏的关键走法而得名。现代法语区分 échec "将军,打击,拒绝,击败",复数形式为 échecs "国际象棋"。
"国际象棋"的原始词源是梵语 chaturanga "军队的四个成员" — 大象,马,战车,步兵。这个词在西班牙语中保留为 ajedrez,源自阿拉伯语 (al) shat-ranj,再源自波斯语 chatrang,最后源自梵语。
The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chessboard, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem. [Marcel Duchamp, address to New York State Chess Association, Aug. 30, 1952]
国际象棋的棋子是塑造思想的方块字母表; 而这些思想,虽然在棋盘上形成了视觉设计,却像一首诗一样抽象地表达了它们的美。[马塞尔·杜尚,致纽约州国际象棋协会的演讲,1952年8月30日]
