Hardcover. Zustand: New. It is interesting to study the origin and evolution of chess, one of the most intellectual games of the world today, and to see its roots in the dice play which can be traced back to the ancient Indian texts like the Rgveda. One of the most outstanding events in the history of Indian games is the introduction of the caturanga from which developed the modern chess. This book throws more light on the implements associated with board games namely, board, pieces and their movements on the board etc. besides concluding that an ancient Indian dice play (aksakrida) evolved into a modern game called chess without dice. The book has a discussion on the ancient Indian army which was called caturanga and argues that the concept of the divinity of the king which is found in Sanskrit literature has led to the concept of immortality and inviolability of the king both in war and in the game of chess. The concept of righteous war (dharmavijaya) is another unique ancient Indian concept which has exercised considerable influence on the game of chess, in which two opposing parties agree to respect each other's king.
