	Chess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most popular, in descending order by number of players, are xiangqi in China, shogi in Japan, janggi in Korea, and makruk in Thailand.
		However, another theory suggests that chess arose from the similar game of Xiangqi, or a predecessor, that existed in China from the 2nd century BC.
		Early on, the pieces in European chess had limited movement; bishops could only move by jumping exactly two spaces diagonally (similar to the elephant in xiangqi), the queen could move only one space diagonally, pawns could not move two spaces on their first move, and there was no castling.
