PAXQ6 The Genealogy of Chess By David H. Li
Part I of this book presents findings of some 30 western origin-of-chess researchers since the 13th century. Part II, using a multi-disciplinary approach, details the chess invention process. With four chapters on How? and pausing at critical junctures to allow an interactive presentation, this book invites the reader to reflect and participate, to think along with our inventor - how should the playing board look? how many playing pieces? how to place them? how should they move? how should the game be played. Part III covers post-invention modifications and cross-border dissemination, both westward and eastward - and compares Xangqi to Chaturanga, Chatranj, Changgi, and Chogi. 383 pages
