	Chess - The Sport of Kings
		Chess is believed to have originated back in India around the 6th Century A.D. Chess derives itself from the game Chaturanga - created by an Indian philosopher to symbolize 2 armies at war (Chatuanga means "four limbed" as in 4 arms of the army).
		Chess was not introduced in Europe until sometime between 700 and 900 A.D. by the Muslims, as well as the Moors in Spain and the Saracen traders in Italy.
		Chess popularity grew at such a rapid rate that initially the church opposed it since they felt that chess was a gambling type of game and not appropriate for their members.

	Omega Chess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Omega Chess is a commercial chess variant designed by Daniel McDonald in Toronto.
		The game is laid out like regular chess with the addition of a "champion" in the corner and a "wizard" diagonally behind each champion (see diagram on right).

		The popularity of these chess variants may be limited to their respective places of origin (as is largely the case for shogi), or worldwide, as is the case for xiangqi which is played by overseas Chinese everywhere.

	Omega Chess Review
		As a regular contributor to Hans Bodlaender's Chess Variants webpage and a longtime player on Richard's Play-by-Email server and Freeling's Mindsport Arena, I have played a lot of chess variants: large and small, simple and complex, historical and modern, three-dimensional, four-dimensional, hexagonal, you name it.
		As Pritchard puts it in the introduction to his Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, "Anyone can invent a chess variant in 10 minutes, and many people have (try it)." In the case of Omega Chess however, I have become a big fan and have a lot of reasons to be optimistic about the game's future.

		While Omega Chess retains the same rules as the known and loved classic chess game, it adds some new features that could really help to bring new life into what could probably be called the most long lasting and popular strategy game of all time.
		To visualize how Omega Chess works, picture a regular chess board, and add all of the pieces on and know that they can all do the same moves that they are supposed to (Knights are still 3-space jumpers, Bishops still can move X squares diagonally, etc).
		Play Omega Chess, but also have the option of playing the regular version if you are simply a chess purist, or switch back and forth to mix it up a bit.
