From history of the CHESS
The history of the chess comes from ancient
times. There are some tales about its
history. All are related with chess
table and rice.
It happened long time ago. Indian king Sheram
was tyrant. His nation lived poorly. A brave man wanted to explain king’s false
and make him think about his nation’s situation. That man created a game in which the most
important figure-the king can’t do anything without other figures, other people.
In different places the name of that game was called "king”, "shac”. "korol”
and etc. The famous name of "Shacmat” comes from Persian king "Chac Mat”.
Man presented his game to king, and king
liked that game very much. He said that whatever that man wanted he would give
him. Man wanted king to give him grain of rice: for first square 1+for second
2+for third 2x2+for fourth 4x2 and goes on… King was very happy because he taught
that the present was easy to give. Actually, the real amount was very, very
huge: it’s impossible to pay this because to get that amount of grain we need to
pick harvest 8 times if whole world is planted, and the length of storehouse
must be 2 times longer than the distance between the Earth and the sun.
