Past Variations Of Chess From Around The World
The most common form of Chess that we know of today was developed in Europe during the late 14th and 15th Centuries. During this period of time, the rules became more or less locked down and, while little adjustments have been made over the course of time, the game has predominately remained unchanged. However, this form of Chess evolved from other forms of the game that date back centuries before this time and some of those games have a rich history and intricate subtleties about them. It is through these games, tracing back to Eastern Asia, that one can understand more about the common day Chess which exists.
Chaturanga is one of the earliest discovered games from which Chess was derived. In fact, it seems to be the first game of the strategic sort that many games the world over express and is largely considered by some to be the origin for many of these games. It is quite possible that Chaturanga was the game which spread throughout these other parts of the world through the influence of different traders which carried the game with them over their travels. This game featured pieces which correlate nicely to modern Chess, albeit with different names. Modern Pawns were considered the Infantry pieces with Chaturanga and the Rooks were considered to be the Gaja, or War Elephants. This game seems to have been immensely popular for centuries, with references being found to it in many forms of documents and literature from the times.
The game from India spread to Persia, where it came to be known as Shatranj. This game, having been popular in the Persian region over over 1000 years now, is believed to be the link between which Chaturanga from India came to become modern Chess in Europe. The game moved to Persia in the early stages of the Christian Era, with references being found in manuscripts dating back to as early as the 3rd Century.
Shatranj adopted the use of two warring sides, commonly depicted as red and green, with 16 pieces per side, each represented by 4 different divisions of an army. Horses, Elephants, Chariots, and Foot-Soldiers all comprised the army and it was through the use of these pieces that the battle of the game was played. After the Islamic conquest of Persia in the 7th Century, however, the game began to spread westward, eventually into Spain. From Spain, the game started its journey into Europe and evolved into the common form it is known as today.
However, this format of game did not derive solely from India through Persia. Xiangqi in China became quite popular, often referred to today as "Chinese Chess." This game works on the same basic principles as both Chaturanga and modern Chess, yet has a number of delicate rules that cannot be found in either. Xiangqi has literary references back as far as the 9th Century, giving it a rich history. The board is slightly different than a traditional Chess board, with the middle separating the two sides with a "river." Pawns can be promoted after crossing the river and the Elephants are not permitted to cross, giving a slightly harder obstacle on the board for players to deal with. However, with the rich history of this game, it is no surprise that it can be considered to be another incredible form of strategic game play.

Prisoner of Her Past: A Son's Memoir $14.45 Until February 15, 2001, Howard Reich's mother, Sonia, had managed to keep from her son almost everything about her experience of the Holocaust. That night, she packed some clothes and fled her house in Skokie, Illinois, convinced that someone was trying to kill her.

In "Prisoner of Her Past," Howard Reich has written a moving memoir about growing up as the child of Holocaust survivors and finding refuge from silence and fear in the world of jazz.

Hidden Treasure: Digging Up The Past $12 Hidden Treasure is the stuff of dreams. Many of us have walked across country fields or along a beach and imagined that we've found something unusual, ancient and possibly of enormous value. These discoveries are windows into 'lost worlds' - treasured things become treasured insights. In Hidden Treasures the reader is engaged in the process of discovery as we follow real archaeological finds that provide us with a picture of our mysterious past. From Stone and Bronze Age Britain to Dark Age and Medieval Britain, the artefacts found reveal the way people like us lived in ancient and more recent times. A bronze bucket from the Dark Ages is part of a burial ritual, a signifying belief in a world of ancestral spirits - the Anglo-Saxon Valhalla. Through beautiful archaeological artefacts, such as iron swords, enamelled brooches, coin hoards, we piece together what the ancient site represented (a cemetery or fortress) and this leads us to discover the life of the people who lived there. Hidden Treasure contains valuable information on how to go about discovering ancient finds, and what to do with any artefacts you find. |

Ghosts of Past and Future: Selected Poetry $19.73 "Ghosts of Past and Future demonstrates Darrell Schweitzer's ability to astonish us with his range and depth as a poet. Those who encountered him first as an engaging satirist and parodist will rejoice in the emotional depth of this work, though they will also be edified by his flashes of macabre humor. Schweitzer's symphonic progress of poems begins with illuminating meditations on mortality and death. It then moves to splendid dramatic monologues informed by a sage's knowledge and an lover's empathy. The book's next movement expands into works of beautiful and intimate lyricism. It climaxes with a series of insights on the significance of death for humanity's and the reader's future. The book is more than a feast of death; it is an affirmation of human value and history. At the same time, Schweitzer has put the book together to carry the reader through as if reading a piece of gripping suspense fiction. An important and, above all, fascinating book." -Mary A. Turzillo, Nebula winning fiction writer and poet. "Darrell Schweitzer is an outstanding exponent of contemporary imaginative literature.... He] has mastered a fine and very flexible kind of syllabic line, part free, part blank verse, achieving many definitive and memorable passages that haunt the shared corridors of our collective imagination." -Donald Sidney-Fryer, author of Songs and Sonnets Atlantean. |
