Chess originated in Persia, where there were, and are, a lot of Turkic people.

The earliest dice with the modern configuration occurred in China. Penalties for crooked dice were extreme. Travellers on the Silk Road could gamble in the knowledge that the dice were not crooked. Games involving 6 followed such as Backgammon and Chess.

Master Chang needs a new hobby.

I deny that Buddhism came from India. In fact it came from Afghanistan.

The real question is where did the Chinese come from ? 
Saying chess was invented in China is like saying Scandinavians were invented in Africa.

I highly doubt Chess was invented in China because the game does not break after playing it 4-5 times.

Of course both China and Chess start with ‘Ch’ 

Cancel the ch out and your are left with ‘ina’ and ‘ess’ 

Shuffle these and you get the word ‘ Sansei’. A sansei is an American whose grandparents were immigrants from Japan.

This is pretty clear evidence that chess comes from Japan

Understandable. Have a nice day.

What we call chess originated in Spain. First ancestor, probably in India.

Clearly chess originated in the United States.

The very fact that chess lasted this long is a proof that it wasn’t made in China.

This is correct, but like I explained it was invented by 3rd  generation Japanese immigrants

Technically it is a Japo-American game.

All cooking terminologies are in French ??

That is like saying because of ‘en passant ‘ and the other French one about fondling  your pieces without moving them all chess terminology is French therefor chess is a French game.

Do you seriously believe the people of Tanzania, Nepal and Rwanda speak of sauté and fillet?

All this discussion leads us to the following question:
Does anyone know where the French omelette originates from?

We don't where things come from, but we do know where things are developed to a state of almost perfection. All cooking terminologies are in French: cuisine, fillet, marinate, sauté.

All ballet terminologies are in French in every country of the world.

You are right in what you say. But the answer regarding the French omelette is wrong.
