Die skaaklegende.
Die storie lui dat ’n baie goeie koning besorg was oor die flinkheidsgraad van sy soldate.
Hulle was weens sy uitsonderlike leierskap nooit aan oorlogsituasies blootgestel nie en het dus nooit enige militêre oefening gekry nie.
So slim soos hy was, het hy ’n plan gemaak soos wat enige goeie skaakspeler kan.
As jy vir die koning ’n goeie idée kon bring oor hoe om sy soldate weer paraat te kry, kon jy groot pryse wen.
Jy sou al die koning se goud, die helfte van sy koninkryk en sy beeldskone dogter as belonging kry… word vervolg.
Chess is fun
Chess has been challenging children and adults worldwide for several centuries.
Despite the game’s image as a pastime for brains, it is easy to learn.
Most six- and seven-year-old children can pick up the basic rules quickly and a few children learn to play from as young as four years old.
Dr Dianne Horgan, a psychology professor at Memphis State University and mother of two young chess players, suggests that even parents who know nothing about the game can learn along with their children.
“It can be fun for a parent and child to learn to play together,” said Dr Horgan.
“There is no real reason for parents to think they have to be experts before they can sit down and play with their children.”
Funny Fact.
The police raided a chess tournament in Cleveland in 1973, arrested the tournament director and confiscated the chess sets on charges of allowing gambling (cash prizes to winners) and possession of gambling devices (the chess sets).
