A LITTLE INFORMATION ON THE HISTORY OF CHESS

Chess, a game of wits, brains, cunning and risks. Chess was originally a game specifically for women of the high english courts of England, it was to keep women out of the politics of the nation. But over time, men have come to adopt this game into their own culture. This would only apply to international chess.

In China, chess was a man’s sport, all high ranking officers, generals and kings would know how to play chess. Chinese chess involved black and white pieces with eahc side trying to encircle the others pieces. This was one of the ways generals would hone their skill during times of peace.

So dont think of chess as a game some old geyzer made because he was bored. It is a sport of ladies, generals and kings! Do not be fooled by it appearance, in the hands if the skillful and imaginative, every chess game is a glorious battle ready to unfold.
