So from India, it travelled to Persia(Iran), then after Arab conquest of Persia, Arabs learnt about the game. From them, it slowly spread to Europe and Central Asia. Chaturanga(Sanskrit) became Chatraanj(Arabic) and then Chess(English). It also had a different route where it spread to South East Asia and China and eventually Japan. Shikamaru from Naruto used to be a master of Japanese version of this game.

I feel so frustrated with the king piece. Like the whole kingdom is trying to save you and you just move one square at a time like you don't give a damn

Imagine telling your brother's death from a game. "Your son died in the battlefield. I'm truly sorry for your loss... anyways, pawn e4". - Prince of the Gupta Empire

Ludo and snakes and ladders are also from india, ludo is called chausar/choupar/choupat in sanskrit, and pachissi in hindi which is also the word from where romance languages and usa english gets the name "parques", it was much more famous in ancient india comparatively to chaturanga. There is a 4 player chess too called chaturaji different fron chaturanga
