Fact #1. A regulation board features 64 squares. They'll be tiled in black and white, or shades of brown in the case of brushed wood. They measure 20 inches square, with each square measuring just over two inches. There are even regulation sizes for each piece. Regulation boards may be important if you are a collector or a purist. If not, though, the size holds almost zero bearing over the dynamics of each game.
Fact #2. There are plenty of other places and people with whom you might be playing. Children, for instance, might enjoy an ornate set. This can allow them to relate. For instance, it might feature cartoon characters or a bright board. Travellers might prefer a set with magnetic pieces, so jolting doesn't ruin the day. Park denizens would do well with a soft tarp option. This will allow for easy storage and movement.
Fact #3. Europeans were the first culture to approach the game as requiring multiple layers of intellect. But the roots can be traced back to India in the 6th century. By the 1300s, it had attained a uniquely powerful appeal. Muslims played chess, as did Christians and Jews and Buddhists. Strangers could bond over a game of chess without ever speaking a word.
Fact #4. The most significant change in play occurred during the late 15th Century in Western Europe. Up to that point, the queen was only capable of moving one square in any direction. Enthusiasts felt it would feel more dynamic if she could move as far as she pleased in any direction. Games would end quicker. Plus, there would be more reason to stop pawns from reaching the opposite end of the board. The controversial change eventually became the rule.
Fact #5. During the 17th and 18th Centuries it became the subject of countless books and strategic manuals. Competitive players began to develop unprecedented styles. Average players learned how to bait and gambit and taunt. By the middle of the 20th Century, professional chess had developed into a game with diplomatic implications.
