There are 1600 years that there was a king who ruled the ancient kingdom of Magadha in the Ganges India. His name was Maharaja Ranvir. All the kings before him had no reputation as warriors. India was conquered often and not vice versa ... but during that time, King kept returning to an attack or a prepress. Much majoritée people did not like his attitude and was always a little tired of going to war especially his ministers. They decided to consult Anantha, a Brahmin (wise) who was famous for his maps astonomiques and mathematical calculations. The Prime Minister asked him to find a solution to help assuage the king's need to go to war! A week later, the Brahmin à envoyer un message au Premier ministre disant qu'il a trouvé la cure! Le lendemain, Anantha se rends au palais avec une planche de jeux noire et blanche, avec 32 pièces et introduit au roi le nouveau jeu qu'il avait inventé...les Échecs! Au centre, il y avait le Roi avec sa reine, ses deux généraux à ses côtés, avec des cheveux, chariots et éléphants. Au devant marchait son armée. Le roi fut emballé et passa son temps à jouer au échec. Les 4 divisions de son armée se retrouvait au devant de lui sur ce jeux. L'infantrie, les cavaliers des montagnes sur leurs chevaux, les chariots et les éléphants. Il pouvait donc se concentrer sur son jeux et assouvir son besoin et il n'est never gone to war! In India, this game is sometimes called Chaupar, Chaturanga or Ashtapadha. It seems that the rules of chess games is somewhat different modern rules of the original game which explains why there are not many Indian world champion!
I found it very interesting!
Good day!
