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

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...

I thought we already established that English came from Latin, therefore Chess originated in Latvia.

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

Latte comes from the Milky Way, so I’m still sticking with Latin comes from Chess.

This is an odd conversation to be having.

Clowns,

If you clown, how will people take you seriously in real life.

My son asked me when he was very young to point out the Tootsie Roll. He said, “Where is the Tootsie Roll?” I had just taken him out of his car seat and it was dark. I asked him what he was talking about and he pointed up. “The Tootsie Roll, Dad!” He meant the Milky Way!

Are you caught up yet?

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

I feel like I'm on the set of Star Trek Voyager. Neelix can't match wits with Tuvok, so he keeps on making jokes. This is ridiculously predictable.

You got the bunny. Your wisdom is unmatched. The bunny thinks he's seen you in the name of the rose.

My house in New Mexico was in a few scenes from, “Being Rose.”

Thanks TT. The bunny hadn't watched that movie. Will do soon. Looks interesting.

But to be an intellectual like LQ we have to catch up on star Trek with greater urgency.

Reminds me of a Star Trek episode: For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky.

A planet is lead by a Computer/Oracle/Guardian/Father.

A lady of that planet tells that Oracle, "You told me one thing and the strangers told me another thing, but they claim that they speak the Truth."

And that Oracle said, "That's their Truth. We have our Truth."

And the lady asks a profound question, "Is Truth not Truth for All?"

Indeed everything that was, is and to be known is found in star trek. We shall catch up with you master. We shall be worthy. Do not forsake us.

chess was modeled in many different countries including iran, india and france but it was originated/made in india but it underwent most changes in france contradicting the popular but misleading theory that chess was made in Iran

Sorry but Magnus has sung. It's Singapore.

Fun Fact: I’ve watched every episode of every Star Trek series, and I’ve watched every Star Trek movie. I don’t speak Klingon, because foreign languages are not one of my strengths.

What everyone plays is European. The rules for everything before that are almost unrecognizable.

Chess came from India. China learned it and made a better version of chess in Chinese Chess.

I agree to this,but according to the title of this thread,chess(what we play on chess.com etc.) was abselutely not orignated in China

... in your opinion?

Take 1 simple piece. The cannon. It moves like a rook but captures by jumping over 1 piece. It moves directly but attacks indirectly by hiding behind another piece be it friend or foe.

Just try to fathom that. That's just 1. I can go on to 10.

the cannon and the 10 other pieces are not in modern chess,which is not chinese
