Any pastime with a history as long and rich as chess is sure to attract its share of variations, creative rule changes and downright wacky ideas. This book collects many interesting (and strange) "eccentricities" in one compact volume. Ever wondered how to play a game of chess with three, four, six or eight players at one time? This book demonstrates several methods, along with the rule changes required for each. Another section contains the histories and rules of many of the worldwide "cousins" of the game, from Indiana chaturanga to Japanese shogi. Why not play with the queen and knight switched places, or a regular force on one side against a force of 16 pawns on the other? Variations on the game are also included, either to stretch the mind with new scenarios or to amuse jaded players. This mix of history, innovation and lunacy can help any player of chess find a new side to the game.

Instructions for play are provided, with historical context, for every game presented.

An epic work that took more than a decade to complete, A History of Chess, originally published in 1913, is a historic undertaking that shattered preconceptions about the game upon publication. Over a century later, Murray’s research and conclusions, in which he argues that chess originated in India, are still widely accepted by most chess historians. Undertaking such a pioneering task, the scope of which has never been attempted before or since, Murray taught himself to read Arabic in order to decipher historical manuscripts on the game and its beginnings. His study unravels the history of the game as it evolved from its Asiatic beginnings, through the role chess played in Europe during the Middle Ages, and up until the nineteenth century with the arrival of modern chess as we know it. A History of Chess includes transcribed diagrams of important games, as well as some of the more famous historical chess figurines, such as the Lewis chessmen. No single work on the game of chess has become close to touching Murray’s in breadth or significance.
