How old is chess?  Why was it once only played by royalty?

Avatar of dashkee94

No one really knows how old the game is, but the reason it was once only played by royalty was that for a long time the royals were the only ones with liesure time on their hands--everyone else was too busy slaving their lives away for the them, either in the fields or in training for war.

God help, because someone lied to you. The game is only 1500 years old.

And why bring Jesus into it. Hate on someone else.

I'm a Christian and enjoy chess. Where is the hate?
