		HJR Murray, the son of the JAH Murray who compiled the original Oxford English Dictionary, was one of those incredible Victorian scholars who were fluent in twelve languages, only three of them living.
		In the English version, which Murray thinks is the oldest, it is a section entitled "Antonius the Emperor." The King is the soul, the opposing King is the Devil, and the Knight is the Christian.
		Murray describes this version as "a hopeless muddle" by the translator, who was apparently working from three or more sources and knew very little about chess.

	Background Essay no. 82 \| Endgame? The Legality of Chess in Islam \| AskAsia.org
		According to HJR Murray, "most probably the Prophet had never heard of the existence of chess, since the Muhammadan jurists have been unable to settle the question of the legality of chess-playing by any direct decision of Muhammad as recorded in the Qur'an, or in authentic tradition.
		(HJR Murray 187.)" It is difficult to state with any great certainty that chess was played in Arabia during the Prophet's lifetime; chess was after all an Indo-Iranian invention, and it is not unreasonable to assume that it entered Arabian culture through the conquest of Egypt and Western Asia after the Prophet's death.
		However, it is clear that chess had gained tremendous popularity amongst all classes and social spheres by the time of the Abbasid Caliphate, which took power in the year 750, still very early in Islamic history.

		Gollon's error seems to have come directly from HJR Murray's fabulous but slightly flawed (in respect of Chu anyway), A History of Chess.

	Tafl -- Brief Reconstruction
		The "standard reconstruction" of the game derives from the work of HJR Murray, as described in his History of Chess and History of Board Games Other Than Chess.
		This variant is almost identical to Murray's version, except that the King must get to the corner of the board, instead of the edge.
		The Murray reconstruction doesn't quite work (although it is a lot of fun anyway), so it is still worth experimenting, to figure out how the game really was played in period.

	The Rules of The Royal Game of Ur from Masters Games
		This follows the HJR Murray route but shortens it so that pieces are borne from the same square as RC Bell.
		When a counter reaches the penultimate square in that row it turns again going to the opposite row to that which it started and then travels around the outside of the 2 x 3 rectangle before bearing off into the gap from which it started but from the opposite side.
		Both this and Murray's version have the elegant result that a rosette is encountered every 4 squares.

	Channel 4 – Time Team
		The game remained a mystery until the British chess historian HJR Murray connected a description of the Saami game tablut – in the diary of Swedish botanist Carl von Linn – [ie Linnaeus] from his trip to Lapland in 1732 – with the descriptions of hnefatafl in the sagas.
		Murray's hypothesis, that the Saami game of tablut was identical to hnefatafl, was put forward in his book History of Chess in 1913.
		From the material that Murray collected, we learn that tafl was known not only in Scandinavia, but also in other regions that were under the influence of the Vikings: Ireland, Wales, England and Lapland.

		Murray's comprehensive discussion of the wide-ranging sources and of problems in the history of chess makes it unlikely that this book will ever be equalled.
		It is referred to as the authoritative source by every modern writer on chess history.
		The second part is concerned with chess in Europe during the Middle Ages, its role in literature and in moralities, and with medieval chess problems, leading up to the beginning of modern chess and the history of the modern game through to the 19th century.

		HB 1212 and HJR 4203 both need to pass the Legislature with 2/3 of the legislators in the House and the Senate voting "yea." Then, HJR 4203 will go to the people so they can vote on whether or not to change the current super majority to pass school district bonds to a simple majority.

		As the respected Victorian chess historian, Edward Falkener has pointed out, reference to the mythical and not historic characters of Yudhishthira and Vyassa, Mahadeva and Parvati denote an antiquity beyond record.
		Several chess historians, taking their lead and evidence from the mammoth "History of Chess', by HJR Murray, have written in defence of the establishment preference for priority of two-sided chess.
		A high degree of authority and qudos goes along with the "original and genuine' tag, and those who make a living from practice of the two-sided game are quick to the defence of their own best interests!
