A m beginning to understand your enthusiasm for it. Found these pages on the subject today - one dated from the turn of the century. The second link has a words long article by H. R Murray on the origins of chess:. I happen to own it and it is an excellent book but more so for reference purposes and just reading whatever entries happen to interest you. There are several reviews of "Chess: The History of a Game" by Richard Eales at amazon not sure why they didn't come up the first time I searched there.
Though it does apparently cover the years history of chess it is only pages and, according to reviews, focuses on modern history more then the Murray volume so people looking for all they can find on the early origins of the game will likely find it lacking. But the reviews I saw there were mostly very positive with the main thread running through them being that this little book is quite an enjoyable read. I liked it very much.
