Chess began in India some 1500 years ago before going to Persia where the game was adapted. Many large size chess boards can be found on the grounds of India and in Agra. Historical Indian paintings also show the game being played.

Gary_Melbourne, I disagree. If a queen is on the throne her consort is a prince. Therefore the queen is the stronger. If a king is on the throne their wife is Queen and was sometimes equal to the king - depending on their relationship.

QUEEN IS MORE POWERFUL BECAUSE SHE CAN GO ANYWHERE

sorry ma'am. 'shatranj' is a Sanskrit word and chess originated in India.

Kiwozzie, Yes Queen is the most important or the soul of the game but not always because Sometimes we faces a condition in which we sacrifice our Queen and gain advantage or checkmate the the opponent's King. So sometimes losing a queen is a way for winning the match . Isn't it.
