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

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

Typing normally doesn't require opening the mouth. Why so agitated?

Altough chess is for serious people, aspects of it show that its conceptors had a sense of humor.

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...

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.

It makes about as much sense as Chess came from China. 

True:

Starbucks and Peanut M & M's. (the yellow package.)

With this stupid virus in place, we're no longer allowed to bring our own cups!!! So I'll buy theirs, and then right in front of the barista, pour it into my own cup.

Because my cup is aluminum, drink stays hotter for several hours. If you use their cups, it stay hotter for several minutes!!!

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.
