Nobody knows exactly when the chess game arisen. Some people think it arisen in Asia, however, recently researches indicate surround Uzbekistan and Persia (actually Iran). Well, there is a theory that all board games have a common origin, because all of them have the same goal: don't move the main piece so much! It is interesting, isn't it?
The Chinese chess board is 9x10. If you put the pieces between lines and take out river, the board will be 8x8 (like in another kinds of the chess). If you paid attention, you must have realized that the last sentence "proves" the theory in the first paragraph. The pieces stay over the each line and in the middle of the board there is "river".
Actually there are a lot of kinds of chess game, like chinese, persian, japanese and so on.
