Checkmate! I'm sure you are familiar of this word. It's an indication that your king is in danger and your queen might have been killed and you'll losing the battle. The word "checkmate" in chess comes from the Persian phrase "Shah Mat," which is often translated to "the king is dead", although more accurate may be "the king is trapped" or " the king is without escape" . This is the goal of a chess player.At any age you can learn and enjoy chess. Alike with scrabble and rubiks cube the game does not need intelligent people but smart and wise people who can make combinations and techniques to trapped the king. Chess originated as charatung in India around 600 AD.
Chess is played by two players only each will have turns where pass is not allowed. A chess game would last hours depending on the skills of the player. Thee longest game ever recorded was between Nikolic and Arsovic, held in Yugoslavia in 1989. This chess game involved 269 moves and took over 20 hours and no one won.
Chess is for any gender as well. Women are welcome to play in the tournament. Most of the chess players are not satisfied with a ordinary chess game, some players like to set themselves a challenge. To name a few George Koltanowski played 56 consecutive games in 1960. Czechoslovakian Vlastimil Hort played blindfoldedly 550 opponents, 201 of them simultaneously wher he won 50 and drew the other 6. Dimitrije Bjelica played 312 games simultaneously, winning 219, losing 1 and drawing 92. Not everyone is a winner of course as was proved when Austrian master Josef Krejcik played 25 games simultaneously in 1910 and lost every one.
The famous Benjamin Franklin was a chess fanatic. He even wrote “ The Morals of Chess” in 1750. Chess has been included to different olympic games and The World Chess Federation (FIDE) is trying to make chess an official Olympic sport.
Chess sets are not only simple and practical, many of them are beautifully hand crafted. A unique chess set was discovered in 1170. Carved from walrus tusks, each of the characters is shown in a bad mood, ranging from anger to depression. If you are looking for unique chess pieces, Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali's did an amazing job with a design that exchanged the traditional chessmen with fingers and thumbs made of silver based on his own digits. The folding chessboard was invented by a priest who was forbidden to play chess. The priest found a way around it by making a folding chessboard. When folded together and put on a bookshelf, it simply looks like two books.
