Chess Originated In ? ( Who Cares ??? )

Yep Who Cares ???

Or to put it another way the important thing is that Chess was brought to Europe many years ago and became a very well liked game.

Yes Chess was invented somewhere and now it is everywhere, very simple right  lol.

Garry Kasparov wrote in his famous book "My Great Predecessors"

"A slow war game not unlike chess originated nearly two thousand years ago in India, and undergoing slight changes, made the endlessly long journey through the south of Central Asia, Persia and the Arab Countries of the Middle East, to the Iberian Peninsula, However, the 'Indian' version of the origin of chess became known to Europeans only at the end of the 17th century. Only one thing can be stated with certainty: modern chess originated in the 15th century on the Mediterranean. And this is already a purely European Invention - an intellectual game, modelling psychological warfare"

Hope that helps

Thanks for the posts.

   ---   Well it seems that a number of people do care. One can see threads on the go where people state that Chess was invented here or there or somewhere. Why they would care is another question that one might ask as well  lol.

   ---   Thanks a lot for the info.

Who cares where it was invented that was over 1000 years ago

   ---   Yep why are there threads on this stuff  lol.

And just spotted yet another thread on this subject ( hint: Who Cares ??? ).

   ---   And yet they go on  lol.

   ---   Yup and still they continue to argue about it  Rofl.

They dont just go on, they go on and on and on and on and on

Yes, Nobody cares. We should all be thankful that it exists in the first place.
