TAE ANTIQUITY OF CHESS.
Game Played 70 ,Aore Than Five
Thou cs3j Years.

Game Played fo9 ,Aore Than Five
Thou sai Years.
Chess, now being played between
ocean steamers by means OF wireless
tclegraphy, is the oldest of games ard
it is striking contrast that it offers
itself for easy operation to the latest
triumph OF modern science. It was
generally assumed until now tnat the
ancient Indians mad invented chess.
that it vas introduced from India to
Persia in the sixth century by the Ar.
abs. and that in consequence of the
crusades il s,.read from East to West.
It is true the Cninese-who invented
many things in time long gone, but
which had to be re-invented in Eu-
rope-assert that they can trace chess
IN their own country to about two
hundred years before our era Now
there can Ger, aiAly be no doubt in the
character Of the figures at present
used. and in some of the words con-
nected with the game, an Indian, Per-
sian and Arabic influence is trace
able. Excavations on the pyramid
field OF Sakkara some time ago
brought to light a wall painting. on
which a high official is represented as
playing chess with a partner, at the
ti44e OF the government Of King Teta,
who belonged to the sixth dynasty.
Prof. Lepsius formerly assigned the
reign OF that monarch to about the
year 200 B. c. Prof. Brugsch, cor.
recting this chronology, puts it back
to still greater antiquity. to the year
$500 B. c., so that chess would have
been known in the once mysterious
land of Mizraim something like $500
years ago.
