I've removed this from the article (bold as in the original):
- In 1008, a Catalonian nobleman, Count Ermengol of Urgell, specified in his will that his chess pieces were to be left to the Convent of St. Giles near Nîmes, present France and then in the area of influence of the Catalan Counties. This is the earliest recorded mention of chess in European history.
It has nothing to do with the subject of the article (which is a specific opening, not the relationship of chess to Catalonia generally). However, somebody may have a better place to put it, so I'll also copy it to Talk:Origins of chess (since History of chess redirects to Origins of chess). --Camembert 01:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
is there any one can tell me the differences between catalan and king's indian attack and which one is more solid and active.Thank you.
This page is incomplete and inaccurate. One car hardly argue that "a few grandmaster are playing it regulary" when Kramnik is currently quite unbeatable with it, developpeing an unprecedented theoritical mastery... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.51.20.124 (talk) 14:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
As I understand Kramnik almost always plays the catalan with white nowadays. Perhaps the statement about strong players only dabbling in it should be modified? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.124.26.250 (talk) 11:18, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
