A nice inquiry which II is not recalled has
received exhaustive consideration. II may be that
there were no successive stages, or rather that
Instead Of being q change accomplished by two
moves II may have involved no moro than one In
each instance. The name Of the tribe which accom-

conoueror of Asia. T1nur the Lame. is credited
with an Improvement of the game, but as it
| failed of permanent establishment the subject
is by no means devoid of obscurity, IL is chron-
icled that he ENLARGED the board 10 ITO or 100
squares. and the number of pieces 20 Nifty six.
Considering nnt the enlarged board, It is al
once APPARENT that as neither of these numbers
is a mathematical square the board must have
become obIong; the most effective common factor
of the two numbers recorded being ten, the
two boards would seem TO have consisted OF ten
ranks and eleven or thirteen nles, The number Of
pieces which TameriAne rave TO each of the players,
twenty -eiqht. ia incommensurate with any rec
tanFuIar arrangement Of the greater field of battle.
II we suppose the pieces 10 have been set on the
probable ten square dimension of the obIonR we
may regard /, as likely that the two added pieces on
the king row would partake OF the nature Of the
major pieces alreaoy 'nerc' thet tne TWO on inc pawn
row would assume the value OF those minor pieces;
the placing and strategic value OF the remaining
eight pieces elude all INTERPRETATION, A search of
the historical materials bearing on the life OF this
chess innovator fails 10 yield more than the merest
mention OF the fact of his project for improving the
game: still Il may have been elaborated by some OF
the historians OF the game. though such reference
has eluded the search.
