Chess Originated in China!

What rubbish long-quack.

’Terminology’ comes from Greek while ‘ dictionary ‘ comes from Latin.

It is pointless debating with you when you are clearly  ignorant, not to mention your white European colonialist tendencies in trying to force French words down everybody’s throats.

Get your act together.

"communist" is not the word you are looking for

have you even seen its massive production?

I believe chess originated in Northern India. The nation states did not exist as they do today though, and of course the ethnic composition of the areas most closely related today to these vague areas, is going to be different from what it was then. Someone in Southern India would therefore be just as related to chess' originators as someone in Northern Mongolia.

Chess has evolved in many formats. Both in travelling through Persia to Spain to Europe generally, as well as travelling to China and Japan.

I understand while elephants were used for a while in China as battlefield weapons, they weren't particularly successful. An elephant of course - a "bishop" - is about as iconic of India as you can get. What's more the unique Chinese chess "cannon" even if regarded as a "catapult", post dates weaponry of an earlier age, suggesting Chinese chess' later adoption and adaption.

And for what it's worth, I play Chinese chess on goldtoken.com

It is uncertain sometimes, because history has gaps. I think it came from India, in the first form, and then other countries made their form of the game. 

I think you mean Chinise chess?

chess originated on Easter island. 

I thought it originated from India. Being an Indian myself I support what I stated. But I guess you living in China (your flag says your from China, sorry If I'm wrong about where you came from) you support that Chess came from China. 

We have both the Chinese and Indians in Singapore.  So it's settled.  Chess originated in Singapore.  The Malays must be feeling left out now...

But that's where latte comes from. Chess doesn't go with latte. 

And Magnus has shown chess is all about singing.  So where else but Singapore?

The bunny thinks the community should accept this overwhelming evidence in favor of Singapore being the origin of chess. 

This is an odd conversation to be having.

But but...  Magnus has sung. He's not the proverbial fat lady but still. 

Chang will not Chang his mind. 

Quach is dead serious. He can't afford to lose the "serious" part, what's left isn't too appealing.  

That class was not serious enough for quach.  All that laughing had to stop.
