With more than 400 illustrations, and detailed maps, this immense
and deeply researched account of the history of chess covers not
only the Persian and Arab game familiar to most Westerners for the
past 500 years, but also variants going back 1500 years that are
still being played in some parts of the world. The evolution of
strategic board games, especially in India, China and Japan, is
discussed in detail. The many more recent chess variants (board
sizes, new pieces, 3-D etc.) are fully covered. Instructions for
play are provided, with historical context, for every form of the
game.
