Persia, the origin of chess
Persian youth playing Chess

I came across this picture today which illustrates persian youth while playing the game of Chess. Unlike what most people think that Chess was invented in India, what we know today as Chess was in fact invented by Persians. As a science major persian-canadian that kindda makes me feel very proud.
