@Bahar Omraee Iran, like India, has been one of the original countries in which chess bloomed centuries ago, yes. Again, Iran, like India, has been deprived of the opportune environment in which such "entertainment" could continue because of oppressive governments, imperialism, violence, underdevelopment etc. Chess was invented and developed in Iran and India while those countries prospered, and it migrated to more imperialistic countries later in history. What's disrespectful about this? It's only pointing something out historically.
