Western Chess, they got cowboy hats? Asking for a Persian friend...

- dmurray 4y agoI'm talking about the game codified in Europe in the late middle ages, and known as "chess" throughout the English-speaking world today. It doesn't make sense to attribute its origins to Persia in the context of specifically distinguishing it from other shatranj/chaturanga derivatives, like shogi.
