In which century is the earliest recorded record of modern chess?

15th Century.

Scachs d'amor. 

The manuscript, written in Valencian language probably in 1475, was discovered in 1905 by Ignacio Casanovas at Capella del Palau. Though the original was lost, a photograph of the codex has been kept at the Library of Catalonia in Barcelona.

The poem is conceived as a chess game in which the players are Castellví, playing White (in modern chess) (Mars Març, Love Amor, and red pieces in the game), and Vinyoles, playing Black (Venus, the Glory Gloria, and green pieces). They debate about love, and Fenollar comments and establishes the rules. The opening in the game would, centuries later, be called the Scandinavian Defense.
