The History of Checkers Draughts

The modern game of chess started around 1475 in Spain when the queen and bishop got a much more powerful move. It was called ""Mad Queen Chess."" These new rules quickly spread throughout western Europe and in Spain. The enhanced move for the chess queen started after the coronation of the powerfull queen of Spain Isabella I. The historical records duly note that Queen Isabella I was crowned with the sword of justice raised in front of her, and the sceptre and throne were given to her. This allusion to the real-world event is so clear within the Scachs d'Amor poem to Isabella's actual coronation that the inspiration of Queen Isabella for the new chess queen and powerfull dama of the draughts game is unquestionable. The Spaniards like the Moors, played a game on the board of lines and called it alquerque. The game became modern draughts through being transferred to the chessboard around that time. This book is the result of at least 30 years investigations in the Spanish archives

For almost two decades Trill's life was on borrowed time. Each day of life as he knew it was one day closer to judgement day. You see, Trill lived life by no one's rules but his own. Whatever Trill wanted, Trill took and he didn't care what had to be done to get it. Lives were touched in ways they would never recover from, all at the hand of Trill. But he forgot one simple rule, life was much like a chess game; there were pawns, knights and rooks spread across the board, all strategically placed to protect the kingdom.
