08 Chess:
 
 A form of chess was played in ancient India but the game was developed into the form we know it today in Persia. From there it spread westward to Europe – where it was introduced by the Moors in Spain in the 10 th century – and eastward as far as Japan. The word rook comes from the Persian rukh, which means chariot.Chess was developed by a Muslim.
