Sort:
How has lt changed in all those years how about a trip down memory lane
Well the rocks were rooks
Well it didn't exist in cave men times.
So it's developed quite a lot.

Did anyone see the latest research that T-Rex was cleverer than the experts used to think? About as clever as a chimpanzee and hunted together in packs, not by themselves. Could run about 8mph / 12kmh over medium distances so we could probably out-run them if we ditched the heels ... tough choice. #shiver

I've seen strong evidence of Chess existing during the times of cavemen and dinosaurs.
So the dinosaurs played chess amongst themselves did they? No men around when the dinos were running around.

They died out in The Flood, and there were people around before then. Obviously.
Please, please tell me there's a museum about this in the U.S.

Lots has been written about it. Google "history of chess" or "rule evolution of chess" or "chess rule development" for example.
A few things I remember:
White didn't always move first (it was random, or customary for black to move first in some place)
No casting
No double pawn move or en passant
Queen could only move 1 or 2 squares in any direction
Stalemate was a loss for the player who couldn't move, or even a win in some areas

And if you're wondering about the movement, it's fun to point out that a knight can move to all the squares closest to it that aren't on the same rank, file, or diagonal.
Another fun way to say it is place a queen in the center of a 5x5 board. The knight would be able to move to every square she isn't attacking.
In other words the pieces just use the most elementary geometry. Orthogonal, diagonal, and knight.
The cavemen called chess tic-tac-toe.
Chess predates humanity. When raccoons discovered we had reached sapience, they taught us the game we play now--a traditional procyonid game of strategy dating back 800,000 years.
Just as surely as they gave us society, they're ready and willing to take it away.

The plan is for bunny ascendancy. For totally selfless reasons I support this plan.
