CHESS IS A MODERN GAME
Has Been So Developed and Amended
That inventor Would Hardly
Recognize 1t.

Chess is but a game, a pastime, =
relaxation, but it has at times alb
sorbed the faculties Of the intellectual
In every cline. 1t numbers among its
amateurs the greatest names Of bat
tlefields and thrones; 1t tells of war
riors, poets, painters, sculptors. states
men and divines; it possesses litera'
ture and language OF its own; 1t makes
enemies friends. and finds temple on
the ocean, In the fortress, and by the
peaceful fireplace. Perhaps the great,
est eulogy on the game was the re.
mark OF Sir Walter Raleigh: Il do
not wish to live longer than can
play chess" 1t is certain that those
who do not play the game are quite
unable TO form any conception of the
high intellectual delights experienced
by the enthusiast.
The origin of chess has been sought
in vain. The fact Ia, the game has SC
changed, developed and improved
down the course of centuries that In
its present form 1t would not be recog
nized by Its inventor--if there ever
was one. The oldest chess problem
on record is thought to be that con
| tanned In an ancient Persian manu-
script attributed to Caliph Kalifer
Mutasin Billah, who reigned In Bag
dad A. D., 1888 to 842. But the reader
would have to learn the old rules be
fore 1t was Ineligible. For example
the queen could make move of onl!
one square at time, and that one ;
diagonal, but queen promoted from
pawn was allowed to make NOV,
OF two squares diagonally.. The bishol
had no power over any square excep
the third from which 1t stood on II
own diagonal line, but 1t was Above,
to vault over any piece that happene
/, to be between. In short, Ii was tota
ly different game. Chess. In the pre-
4. else form In which we know It an
play 1t today. is a comparatively moo
ern game.
