	Royal Game of Ur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The only other board game known with some certainty to be older than The Royal Game of Ur is the ancient Egyptian game Senet, the existence of which possibly dates as early as the 33rd century BC.
		The Royal Game of Ur was played with two sets (one fl and one white) of seven markers and three pyramidal dice.
		The rules of the game as it was played in Mesopotamia are not known but there is a reliable reconstruction of gameplay based on a cuneiform tablet of Babylonian origin dating from 177-176 BC.

	The Royal Game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Game (Schachnovelle in the original German) is a novel by Austrian author Stefan Zweig first published in 1944, after the author's death.
		The novel is ostensibly concerned with a chess match conducted on a cruise liner and the contrasting characters and epic struggle between the two protagonists.
		In contrast, his opponent in the final game, Dr B, has an immense imaginative capacity for the game and, indeed, only managed to survive solitary confinement by the Nazis due to his extraordinary feat of playing chess entirely in his mind.

	Royal Game of Ur - Online Guide
		The ancient Sumerian name of the game is not known although it is often referred to as the Royal Game of Ur.
		The rules of the game as it was played around 2500BC are not know at all but the same boards were still in use a century or two before the birth of Christ and archeologists have discovered the rules for the game played at that time on some cuneiform tablet dated at 177/176BC.
		Since the game was played with 3 binary pyramidal lots which give a number from 0 to 3 each throw, many people therefore believe that a throw of 0 would allow the player a move of 4 squares.

	The Royal Game of Ur
		The Royal Game of Ur gets its name from two boardgames which were found in tombs by Sir Leonard Wooley, who was carrying out excavations in the ancient city of Ur in the 1920s.
		Each of the game boards is composed of a set of twelve squares and a set of six cases linked by a bridge of two cases.
		Among the twenty squares on the game board, five are generally decorated with a rosette and it seems that those squares are important in the course of the game.

		These gaming boards vary in design and in the extent of their preservation; in most cases the wood of the frame had rotted away, leaving only the lapis lazuli and shell fragments of the inlaid playing surface.
		Gaming boards have even been found drawn on paving-stones, presumably used by individuals who could not afford the fine materials and workmanship of the "royal" gaming boards.
		The goal of the game is to enter all the playing pieces onto the board via square #1, to move them down the length of the board, and to move them off the board via the designated exit squares.

	How to Play Royal Chess
		Royal Chess is played using the same rules as regular Chess plus the additional rules concerning the Royal Guards explained in Chapter V, and those concerning stalemates, perpetual check, and draws at the end of this chapter.
		The object of the game is to trap and capture your opponent's King.
		In Royal Chess, a stalemate, a game ending with a perpetual check, and a game when one of the opponents is left with only their King are all considered a win for the player forcing the situation.

	The Royal Game of UR Ancient Mesoptamian Board Game Played in Biblical Times: presented by Astral Castle
		During excavation of the "Royal Cemetery" in the city-state of UR in Mesopotamia (about 105 miles west-northwest of what is now Basra in modern Iraq), four boards which varied from simple to fine workmanship were found in tombs which date primarily to the Early Dynastic IIIA period (around 2600-2500 B.C.E.).
		The popular version of the game has pieces remaining on their own sides or on the middle track -- not crossing in the final portion to the opponent's side -- but this makes for less exciting conflict and also less sense in terms of the distance from one rosette to the next.
		Historical Context for the Royal Game of Ur The city of Ur was the largest city in a fertile area, known as Mesopotamia, that lay between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, more than 6000 years ago.

		The ball game imagery was an essential element of the Maya concept of representing royalty in the monumental art.
		As for the Popol Vuh story, the ball game there might well be a result of regional ‘framing.’ A famed K’ekchi’ performance of the hero twins story celebrating the foundation of San Juan Chamelco in 1543 (Coe 1989: 161-162), for instance, has not a single reference to the ball game.
		The Maya ball game cannot be separated from the Pan-Mesoamerican tradition, where this game is primarily a way to settle disputes, to mediate relationships between various groups on different levels.

		The Royal Game is one of those outstanding books for which I say "five stars just isn't enough." When it came to portraying psychological turmoil, Stefan Zweig was incomparable.
		A prisoner in solitary confinement begins to play an entirely mental game of chess with himself, in which he is obliged to divide his being in two, until this ultrasolipsistic feat brings him close to madness.
		In Zweig's hands, ''the royal game'' becomes a symbol of the tail-swallowing terrors of the life of the mind.
