What is the evidence for this: In the beginning chess was only played by peers at the court. It seems a difficult possition to defend.
In any case, it leaves the wrong impression, as chess appears to have become quite popular. -- Jake 17:44, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- In the first par, it says evidence points to an 11 C entry "at the very earliest"... and two sentences later, other evidence is suggesting as early as 900 AD, ie, the beginning of the 10th C. Also, use of the word "our" when refering to Europe is exclusionary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.109.88.42 (talk • contribs) 10 June
