Good info. But when my cousin, Gaston, taught me to play chess 50 years ago, he Told me it was the Persians (Sinbad the Sailor people) who invented chess. Of course, he was the one who told me that there was a kid-eating monster living in the hall closet (close to the restroom)that ate children when they wandered out of their room at night. Needless to say, I got very good at holding my water 'til morning (most of the time).
