Chess has been around for 1,500 years

The attacking infantry advances steadily, their elephants already having broken the defensive line.The king tries to retreat, but enemy cavalry flanks him from the rear.Escape is impossible.But this isn’ta real war–nor is it just a game.Over the roughly one-and-a-half millennia of its existence,chess has been known as a tool of military strategy,a metaphor for human affairs, and a benchmark of genius.
