It is haraam according to the majority of scholars, the remaining say that it is simply makrooh. There are many narrations that portray Chess as haram:
- It was narrated that 'Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him) passed by some people who were playing chess. He said, "What are these images, to which you are devoted?
- 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) was asked about chess and he said, "It is worse than dice [referring to backgammon]."
- Abu Dawood (4938) narrated from Abu Moosa al-Ash'ari that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever plays dice has disobeyed Allaah and His Messenger."

Not a bit. Muslims actually spread chess, backgammon and dice play across the middle east, north Africa and Europe between the 7th. and the 11th. century. The first book of chess problems was written by the Khalif of Baghdad in 772. The name chess and the phrase checkmate are both direct transliterations from Sanskrit. From the 8th. century on, chess was part of the required education of Muslim nobility.
