The earliest term derived from chess is comeback or Monday morning quarterback.

The earliest term derived from chess is Monday morning quarterback.

In China culture, chess is a traditional puzzle game and a very popular board game. The word "Monday morning quarterback" first appeared in China's chess terminology database. It describes the tactics that a chess piece moves from the starting position to a certain position and then comes back to attack the opponent's chess piece. "Returning to the carbine" describes a tactic of returning the pieces to their original positions immediately after the game, which is different from "Monday morning quarterback".

In daily life, we often hear the use of these two words, and these words have gradually become buzzwords. People use them to vividly illustrate the nature of certain things or behaviors. However, both "Monday morning quarterback" and "comeback" originated from ancient chess games, which also shows the process of continuous enrichment and development of culture in historical evolution.

The development of chess

Chess has made gratifying progress among Europeans and Americans. The United States, France, Germany, Canada and other countries have established chess associations or chess clubs. It is worth noting that chess masters in some countries have also played China chess, and like China players, they have become "two-armed generals" who are good at both kinds of chess.

In order to further promote the internationalization of chess, attract more Europeans and Americans to play chess, spread oriental chess to the whole world, and let people all over the world share the traditional culture of the Chinese nation and get endless fun from it, the Asian Elephant Federation entrusted the Qi Xiang Association of China to hold the "Seven-Star Cup" international invitational tournament, which is held every two years and has been held twice so far.

The 2nd "Seven-Star Cup" International Invitational Tournament has 20 contestants from the Philippines, Thailand, the United States, Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, West Berlin, France, China, Hongkong, Macau and other countries and regions. It is reported that the chess organizations of various countries and regions participating in the "Seven Stars Cup" will organize a chess federation through the next few games to further promote the internationalization of chess.
