Professor Li: The “Chess-was-invented-in-India“ theory has been with us for at least 300 years, so it is difficult to dislodge it in just a few years’ time. In my book “The Genealogy of Chess” there is an extensive discussion of the Arab “Shatranj”. With the help of diagrams I have demonstrated that “Shatranj ul-Kebir”, the 112-square version, is derived from an 11x11 version of XiangQi. Similarly, “Shatranj ul-Seghir”, the simplified 8x8 version, is derived from a 8x8 version of XiangQi. I have proven the dissemination of XiangQi to Persia and India via the Silk Road. Additionally, using diagrams from Japanese sources, I have also traced Shogi from its early versions with an 8x8-board to the 9x9-board – which has survived until today – and beyond. The result of my research: I can not find any support for the “Chess-is-an-Indian-invention“ thesis.

Professor Li: Chinese Historians have two advantages over Indian-school historians. First, there are numerous literature references written in Chinese; there are but a few in Sanskrit. Secondly, archaeological finds from China are being added every year. There is precisely zero from India. This is understandable: how can you find references or artefacts when an event – the birth of chess – did not actually happen in that country?

It's enjoyable to read the tentative conclusions by academics with their use of nuance and numerous qualified statements.  Sigh.  Just more research without a definitive conclusion.

Don't forget to give a Space after

The space between the ears is more worrying.

Nothing there to worry about.

Perhaps it is a classic Chinese supply and demand thing.

China created covid to supply the word with  billions of useless masks and broken temperature measuring devices, much in the same way they could have started chess to supply the world with cheap plastic sets and Dubrovnik knock-offs.

All starting with a C , coincidence....or not?

CHESS was invented in India and you cannot cahnge the fact, just unfollowing

I am not sure now, suddenly those pieces look very European instead of Indian.

It could be that the internet is wrong, wouldn’t be the first time

DICE CAME FIRST! BACKGAMMON AND CHESS FOLLOWED. FIRST RECORDED USE OF THE DICE WITH MODERN CONFIGURATION WAS 3,000 YEARS AGO IN CHINA.
