The king and his wife Gandhimati were great devotees of Shiva. Mother Parvati Devi, who knew that there was no blessing of a child in this birth for the two of them with perfect lives, said, "Can you make the devotees who worship you everyday not forget you

like this? Shouldn't they be blessed with a child?" asked Eason.
Lord Shiva replied, "It is their destiny that they will not have a child in this birth. But, may you be born in the earth and grow up to be their child. In due time, we will come and marry you!" Granted that.

பல காலமா நான் யோசித்தது உண்டு chess ல மட்டும் king ஐ விட queen ஏன் powerful? நம்ம சண்முகங்கள் இதை எப்படி அனுமதித்தார்கள் என்று? அந்த கேள்விக்கான விடை தான் Marilyn Yalom எழுதிய "Birth of the Chess Queen" புத்தகம்.
chess தோன்றிய ஆரம்ப காலங்களில் ஒரு 500 வருடத்திற்கு அதில் queen கிடையாது. இந்தியாவில் ஆரம்பித்த chess விளையாட்டு பெர்சியா, அரேபியர்கள், ஐரோப்பியர்கள் என்று பரவியது. Renaissance காலத்தில் ஐரோப்பியாவிற்கு சென்ற போதுதான் queen என்னும் powerful piece வருகிறது.
அதுவரை ராஜாவிற்கு பக்கத்தில் vizier எனப்படும் ஆலோசகர் தான் இருக்கும். இந்த piece, பிஷப் போல diagonal ஆக ஆனால் ஒரே ஒரு கட்டம் மட்டும் நகரும்.
#Chess evolved as a metaphor for society. Every pawn aspires to become a queen. That's how we tempt them to be first into the fray and take the brunt of the battle. Little do they know the chances of changing their status are slim to none. So long as the king lives nobody cares.
Knights, they are brave, they are bold, they jump over friends & foe to get right to the heart of the battle, they can strike here, and over there too & you don't want one on your side of the board! They step to the side when they stop, that's what horses do when reined in short!
