WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where Did Chess Come From?

It is believed that the term "Checkmate" comes from the Farsi (Iranian, formerly Persian language) words, "Shah Mah", meaning "The king is dead". I'm not sure that my spelling is correct. This may be an indication of the origins of chess.

Dare I say I didn't consult Wikipaedia? - honest!
go on - i dare you. i checked wikapeadia, and that is there. i dare you

It's when everyone can add ingredients unchecked that you get overspiced soup.
