yes, white moves first.
But, to begin with, the running queen is an European innovation. In shatranj, the ferz is pretty limited - only one move diagonally.

Your envy is amazing sir. I have about 300 higher on bullet, 50 on rapid and 20 on Blitz. I am higher rated and that is the end of the discussion, I am the best chess playing president in the world!
oh for goodness sake.
Chess is played in the arabic world; and as I recall one of the strongest chess tournament is the qatar open- which has drawn top GM's from all over the world.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_Masters_Open
as for strong chess players,
GM Bassem Samir (2661) is a particularly strong player though there are several others in egypt
another name that I've seen before is GM Salem Saleh of the UAE (2629)
BTW, its pretty bad when a person can't get one single simple answer to her question in 16 posts.

Arab Muslim conquered india not spain
Chess was introduced by the arab musilms to the west after they conquered spain. Today Dubai open is one of the most important chess tournaments and there are hundreds of arab GM. Interesting enough one of the best American players Yasser Seirawan is an arab but he and his family has been living in america for a long time
