	Chessays - Sloan - India vs. China
		Chess has been shown to have appeared in India at a date no earlier than the sixth century AD, and Indian scholars themselves seem to believe that the actual date was considerably more recent than even that.
		The fact that Chinese chess also has a rook, a king, a pawn and a bishop, all of which occupy the same place on the board in the starting position and have the same movement and the same name as in the known medieval predecessor of western chess, is simply ignored.
		The obvious reason for this is that, in Korean chess, the elephant has a different type of move, and is not restricted to just one side of the board, while the pawns can move sideways immediately and do not need first to reach enemy territory.

	Korean Chess
		On a Chinese Chess Board, there is a river that "exists" in the middle row of the board; it does not exist in Korean Chess.
		In Chinese Chess, moving from the 5th to the 6th row is "moving across the river" where the pawns gain the power to move one step sideways--and where the Bishops can not move across.
		In Korean Chess, the pawns can move sideways one step immediately and the Bishops can move anywhere on the board that is legal for a given move.

	[No title]
		Koreans apparently know nothing about Choson chess, therefore it is strong doubt of its existence.
		It is very probable that they are cannons – pieces, existing in Chinese and Korean chess games (xiang qi and chang gi accordingly), they are situated in middle row and their long straight vertical and horizontal moves resemble rooks’ moves.
		Choson chess resembles Heian shogi – an early variant shogi, but the latter hasn’t cannons in the middle row (and any pieces at all – the middle row is empty), and beaten pieces in Heian shogi go off from the board and don’t take part in game more.

	Blanc et Noir: GAME CORNER: Chess
		Chess is played by two people on a square board of 8 rows of 8 squares each, alternately light and dark in color.
		The ones that think chess was invented in India say that those Chinese texts were wrong and that that Chinese chess version was the ancestor of anything but the modern chess.
		This because in Chinese chess there's a river, a cannon, a knight that cannot jump, pieces have their name written on (in Chinese characters) and are placed on points instead of squares.

	Chinese and Korean Chess
		The Chinese name for its form of Chess that is a variation of International Chess is literally translated as Elephant Chess.
		Korean Chess is historically derived from Chinese Chess and uses for all practical purposes the same board and pieces but has different rules.
		Korean Chess, although considered by some wilder and more fun than Chinese Chess, takes a little more time due to the fewer restrictions on the Korean Chess pawns, guards, and king and additional restrictions on the Korean cannon.
