It has been said that Chess is more than a game of skill, it is a medieval history lesson in miniature. Some of the earliest written records of chess place the games origin in what is now northern India or Afghanistan sometime around 600AD. There are some that claim chess existed much earlier possibly as early as 100AD.

My earliest recollections of learning the game are of my Dad showing me the basics, encouraging me to learn as much as I could from the defeats I suffered at his hand. He worked a lot and the times shared at the chess board are a warm memory of a man who spent as much time with me as his schedule would allow. My dad loved history and used the time playing to talk to me about the English/Scottish battles, Civil War battles, as well as the various medieval time wars.
