Chess Originated in China!

India-chaturanga

persia-shatranj

greece and russia-all the other modifications

@ Long-Qwack , I am afraid claiming you are Vietnamese does not make you Vietnamese.

It would explain your love for all things French though...but this is the internet. Some years ago there was an annoying kid on here that insisted he was in love with some anime character and that he would marry her one day....he claimed to be a 13 year old Canadian.

Turns out he was a 350 pound , hairy dude from Puerto Rico.

The only people who believe all cooking terms are French and English is just a French dialect are the French....which means you are French. 

and how is this related to the topic?maybeI am not an Indian,so?

Varad, I highly doubt you are Indian.

Half the site claims to be Indian, sure there is safety in numbers but ultimately nobody takes you seriously.

The topic is omlettes and Long-qwack claimed the French invented them and all cooking terms.

’Bake’ might be German but remember German is just another form of French like English.

okay,Then play this game,which country am I from?

English is not half of anything 

English has a mere 29% French words in it, another 29% is German, then there is a lot of Latin, Greek , Norse and a variety of lesser languages, it only contains 6% old English.

Merde! You can’t just pluck any old stats out of thin air 

Varad ....how on earth would I know which country you are from? 
I am not clairvoyant. ( a clairvoyant is somebody who sees stuff without them being there)

Judging by the way you speak and your calm yet slightly apologetic nature I would say you are very likely Canadian or if Belgium was an actual country you would definitely qualify to be Belgian

yaar,yeh kya bata raha hain tun?what is this?

kindly? With all due respect, Master Chang, go sniff a gulon! China can only produce games like go. Chess belongs to India!!!

If you had done your research properly, you would know that the first form of chess was chaturanga, an Indian game

actually chess was "just born"in India,chess belongs to russia and greece

I apologise for the incorrect use of words. However, it does NOT belong to any country, as such. It belongs to the whole world.

read the brackets

Arabs took Shatranj from Persians and Ziryab (who btw is a member here) introduced it to Al-Ándalus during 8th century. Several centuries later, chess was originated in the kingdom of Valencia.

 Btw ‘ clairvoyant’ is a French word. 
So is ‘ spectre’ 

All things supernatural have French terminology.

Oddly terminology is not French it is Latin but Latin is a really just a watered down version of French.

So chess is Chinese, then went to India and Persia. En passant by France, it became what it is known today. Chess would therefore be an internacional game.

And then, why a "fou" is a bishop in English? I guess the profesión of fou du roi simply never existed in England

Fou means crazy in French

Fou du roi means a sort of clown, or humorist of the king ; the one whose job was to make the king laugh. He has some power due to its proximity with the royals. 

ok, that is disgustingly wrong. Chess is INdian. DO ur research before opening ur mouth

it was inspired from the wars which happened at that time
