But with its spread to Sassanid Persia, it acquired its current name and terminology– \"chess,\" derived from \"shah,\" meaning king, and “checkmate” from \"shah mat,\" or “the king is helpless.” After the 7th century Islamic conquest of Persia, chess was introduced to the Arab world.
Namun dengan persebarannya ke Sasan Persia, ia mendapatkan nama dan istilahnya yang sekarang– \"chess\", berasal dari \"shah\", artinya raja dan \"checkmate\"dari \"shah mat\", atau \"raja tak tertolong.\" Setelah penaklukan Islam atas Persia di abad ke-7, catur diperkenalkan ke dunia Arab.
