A note to the reader
As of today the Chess History Center website appears in a new and more
streamlined format. The research center is discontinued, as is the
specific link collection and a few other rarely visited parts of the
site. We are grateful to all those who have contributed over the years
to chess
historical research within these pages and hope that you will keep
returning in the future. For specific inquiries write to the webmaster@chesshistory.com. But please note that we don't know when, where, why and by whom chess was invented.
