Chess and War.

The origin OF chess is shIouded In
mystery. There is little doubt, how
ever that its birthplace was in India
and that II Is an offspring of game
called chaturanga. which Is mentioned
In oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era.
From india chess spread into Persia
and thence into Arabia, and ultimately
the Arabs took It into Spain and the
rest OF western Europe. The game
was In all probability invented for the
purpose of illustrating the art Of war
The Arab legend upon this point Is that
