Did You know: Chess in Ancient Egypt?

Thought to be one of the predecessors to modern-day chess, Senet was a board game enjoyed in ancient Egypt. Senet, played as early as 3000 B.C., is a race to the finish line. Each player had 5 to 7 pawns on a board that ranged from 3 x 10 squares, to a more advanced version with 8 linear squares and an additional 4 x 3. 'Knuckle Bones', or little sticks - much like dice - were used to advance in the game. Senet is thought to have represented divine Egyptian gods and the afterlife.

Chess Tibbit:

According to "Chatrang Namakwor", which translates to "A Manual of Chess",  Shatrang (Chess) represents the universe of ancient Indian mysticism. The four sides represent the four elements (fire, air, earth and water), and the four ‘humors’ of man.
