Unlike other sports, chess is constant. Whether on the beaches of Brazil, beneath the Great Wall of China, or at a Texas barbecue, the game is played the same-same movements, same rules.

Why don't you consider that an adequate explanation?

I note that now he has switched from 'sport' to 'game'.

I do, but I want the exact Farsi equivalent of 'constant' here', and to get that I need to know what constant means.

It means this.
Whether on the beaches of Brazil, beneath the Great Wall of China, or at a Texas barbecue, the game is played the same-same movements, same rules.

I think you need an English to Farsi dictionary.

Why did he say 'chess is constant' and not 'chess principles are constant' or any similar thing?
