It is frequently debated among professionals which era is regarded as the "best" in modern game history. Chess, like modern sports, has gone through several eras in which the perspective of how the players competed changed. For example, in chess, the Romantical approach favoured quick tactical moves over long-term strategy. When players changed their playing styles, valuing one thing over another, new "ages" of chess would emerge.

In 1769, Spanish colonists established the city that is now known as Los Angeles. In 1781, another group of 44 residents moved to the new settlement. The city was titled El Pueblo de Nuestra Seora la Reina de los ngeles de Porcincula by the Spanish ruler. This translates as "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of Porcincula." Because the name is extremely long, it was condensed until it became Los Angeles. As a result, Los Angeles is now known simply as "The Angels."

The most expensive coffee on the planet is "Kopi Luwak." It is made in Indonesia from beans digested by the Asian Palm Civet. That is, it is derived from cat poop. It can cost up to €350 per kilo!

Anthropologists have discovered evidence that pre-Olmec cultures in Mexico produced chocolate around 1900 B.C. Chocolate's origins can be traced back to Mesoamerica. The Aztecs (a Mesoamerican civilization) traded cocoa beans with the Mayans because they believed they were a gift from Quetzalcoatl, the God of Wisdom. When the Aztecs took over Mesoamerica, they had a strong desire for cocoa beans, which could not be grown in the heart of their civilization. As a result, they were forced to rely on the Mayans and trade cocoa seeds with them. These were known to be so valuable that they were used as currency.

You definitely wouldn't recognise Greece if someone called it by its official name at first, but that's part of what makes it so fascinating! Hellas or Hellada is how the Greeks refer to their country, and the Hellenic Republic is the official name.

Where the Wild Things Are was originally titled Where the Wild Horses Are, and Maurice Sendak intended to write about horses; however, the author and illustrator quickly realised he was terrible at drawing horses and decided it would be better to draw 'things' instead; thus, one of the most memorable children's stories of all time was born.

Just One Letter Long Ten villages in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway have names that are only one letter long. The city name, which means "little brook or river" in the Scandinavian languages, appears nine times in the nations. Sweden has the word, which meaning "island."

Malaysia is home to the world's biggest cave chamber. The Sarawak Chamber at Gunung Mulu National Park is enormous, with enough capacity for 40-50 Boeing 747s. It's another matter if you could actually park these jets in the Sarawak Chamber...

Though it was not the first film ever made, "The Great Train Robbery" (1903) was the first to tell a story and is widely regarded as the first narrative fiction film. It was produced by Thomas Edison's Edison Studios and was only about 12 minutes long. The filming took place in New Jersey. 

Edison was, without a doubt, one of the world's most renowned intellectual property thieves. He stole nearly all of the 1,093 things he smashed a patent on from real geniuses like Nikola Tesla, Wilhelm Rontgen, and Joseph Swan – the latter of whom invented the lightbulb!

A Formula 1 race car's engine is not like one found in a Toyota that can go 200,000 miles without breaking a sweat. A normal Formula 1 engine, according to F1Technical, can only endure seven races. The competitors set aside a considerable sum only for engine development. The tolerance and capability of F1 engines are unparalleled. They're designed to get the most out of them, even if that means just operating for a few hours. Because the engines are built with such accuracy, they are more prone to wear and tear.

Hüseyin Kalkan, the mayor of Batman (a town in southern Turkey), sought to sue Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan in 2008 for exploiting the town's name without authorization. Despite saying that there was only one Batman in the world, there was no true news about it after that. Batman originally debuted in a comic book in 1939. The issue is, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Korean popular music can be traced back to 1885, when an American missionary named Henry Appenzeller started teaching American and British folk songs at a school. These songs were usually based on a popular Western melody and were sung in Korean.

While Walt Disney invented Mickey Mouse and gave the voice, the visual was developed by animator Ub Iwerks, who designed all of the famous characteristics. You'll never look at the adorable mouse the same way again.

This is one of the Japanese facts for children! Because the ice cream will ultimately melt, the term is a little deceptive. It appears that the non-melting ice cream will take several hours to thaw. Consider this, kids: this is unquestionably the finest of the kid's Japan facts! Yummy! The finding happened by chance as scientists were working with strawberry chemistry. This was done to assist farmers affected by the 2011 earthquake.

Christian Dior technically invented designer sunglasses when, in the early 1960s, they licenced their brand to be used to produce luxury sunglasses for discerning fashionistas. Using Optyl, his own lightweight thermo-hardening material, he converted expensive sunglasses into more wearable everyday items. The properties of this material also allowed for a wider choice of models, from broad and original lines to previously discovered hues and delicate degradé of translucent, brown, green, and grey colours that still mark Dior's beautiful and refined style.

Despite the fact that Nazi scientists tried to produce weaponized versions of illnesses such as typhoid and cholera, Hitler banned the employment of offensive biological weapons in war, probably due to his experiences with bioweapons during World War I.

Several nations, like Mexico, Germany, and Austria, see the urge to escape from jail as a natural human instinct rather than a criminal act. As a result, a jail break is not considered a crime in and of itself, but before you start planning the ideal escape, keep in mind that they will still try to find you and you may be penalized for any illegal conduct you do during or after your escape.

Rivers and lakes can be found beneath the ocean. When salt water and hydrogen sulphide combine, it becomes denser than the surrounding water, forming a lake or river that flows beneath the sea.

Without mentioning the city's diverse population, no list of interesting facts about New York is complete. The city's residents speak roughly 800 different languages collectively. Almost half of New York households speak more than one language, and one-third were born outside of the country. And, because New York has the most people of any city in the United States, one in every 38 people in the country is a New Yorker.

Many variations of the suit exist in different planets, and they are all fire-resistant, bulletproof, and electrically insulated. The cape may also be used as a parachutist or hang glider. High-tech instruments, like as night vision and communication devices, are also used to create the renowned cowl. It's also used to keep his identity hidden from some superhumans.

What could be better than dedicating one day of the year to yourself? Having two of them! Many Greek names are derived from religious saints, each of whom is commemorated by the church on a particular day. People with the same name as the saint are wished a happy name day on that day, and a party is thrown with family, friends, and even neighbours. Marios and Marias, for example, have two name days each year!

Did you realise that the word "Pennsylvania" is misspelt on the Liberty Bell? Actually, worded incorrectly is perhaps a bit harsh: when the bell was constructed in 1752, it was one of several permissible spellings. The ancestors of the United States also committed several obvious language errors in the Constitution.

In Korea, age is given precedence over all other considerations. When conversing with someone of a higher rank or age, formal language must be used. Similarly, when conversing with a junior/someone younger, you can use informal language (banmal, ). Unless two people agree to use banmal at the same time, this usually remains the case. Even in a k-pop group with members who are mostly around the same age, a few months difference in birthdate can make a big difference.
