	Origins of chess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An argument can also be advanced that chess pieces hewn from stone were miniature versions of totems, useful for representing and predicting the conflict of divine forces in nature or society according to scientific methods available to anyone curious enough to inquire.
		Although the existing evidence is weak, it is commonly speculated that chess entered Persia during the reign of Khusraw I Nûshîrwân (531-578 CE).
		Chess eventually reached Russia via Mongolia, where it was played at the beginning of the 7th century.

		Chess is one of the world's most popular games; it has been described not only as a game but also as an art and a science.
		Chess is sometimes seen as an abstract wargame; as a "mental martial art", and teaching chess has been advocated as a way of enhancing mental prowess.
		Early on, the pieces in European chess had limited movement; bishops could only move by jumping exactly two spaces diagonally (similar to the elephant in xiangqi), the queen could move only one space diagonally, pawns could not move two spaces on their first move, and there was no castling.

		Chess may have had its origins in a 4th century game called "chaturanga" (from North-West India), although there is little definite evidence of the game before the 6th century in Persia.
		However the only physical evidence that remains of the early game in Europe is the world-famous group of 12th Century "Lewis Chessmen", discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides (93 pieces carved in walrus-ivory, being 82 held in the British Museum and 11 held in Edinburgh).
		This will be highly beneficial to all the chess enthusiasts to learn from your comments.I believe more minds with more ideas put together is going to make a big difference in understanding the game in overall context and perspective.

	Timeline
		A timeline marker is a little square of colored paper - a chit - which is the same color as the piece whose path it marks.
		Later, since one timeline now ends here and another timeline goes on (or at least is covered by the captor,) a record of the capture lies before the players on the board.
		Whenever the chit of a piece is the only thing in the square at the end of its timeline, the captured piece is replaced at the end of its timeline.

	Xiangqi - Chinese Checkers and Chinese Chess - Chinese Art
		In Western chess, if a player's king is not in check, but the player has no legal moves that would not place the king into check, then this results in stalemate and a draw.
		While in Western chess, the battle between opposing sides is concentrated in the middle few rows for the bulk of the game, this is not the case in xiangqi.
		Depending on the situation, it may be advantageous to position a chariot at one of the corners of the enemy's side of the board, where it is very difficult to dislodge, and threatens the enemy general.

		If you are new to Computer Chess in general as well, so this FAQ will also answer some simple questions on Computer Chess related matters.
		For some who are used only to chess playing programs like Chessmaster or Fritz, using Winboard engines is going to be a big culture shock.This is because Winboard compatible interfaces generally (except for a few exceptions like Pondering) do not allow you to alter engine options within the interface itself.
		Auto232 is a protocol designed by Christian Donninger to allow 2 computers that are linked together from one COM port to another (via null modem cable) to play against each other.It can also be also used on one computer by linking 2 different auto232 interfaces on the same computer (more on that later).
