[edit] online?
Is the text available online somewhere? Being so old it should be legal should it not? If so, a link would be great. 84.128.217.166 (talk)
[edit] strange sentence
The article says "It is the first published source of the theory that chess originated in India; a theory that prevailed for most of the twentieth century." I know about the recent claims of chess originating in China, but isn't Murry's account still the most widely accepted one? Bubba73 (talk), 13:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- AFAIK, yes, it is. I recently got Chess: The History of a Game (1985) by Richard Eales. As it includes some critical examination of Murray's work, I'll take a look to see what Eales says. Quale 07:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
