    The game doesn't work well because it's prone to repetitive stalemates or repetitive movement which is always a loss for the attacker and I don't know why?

    Why can you pronounce "sh" perfectly when it's Spanish and written as "z" or latinised Arabic and written with an accent, but can't a single time when it's English, even calling our language "Ingliss"? You know, the language you publish your videos in? Is that some kind of petty spite because you think you have to use English to achieve a wide audience?

    Chess is originated in India . Thanks you for the video : History of Chess ( Chaturanga) : First ever Sanskrit references to Chaturanga in India date back to the Gupta Empire in the 6th century CE, with the earliest clear mention found in Banabhatta's *Harsha Charitha* from around AD 625. Chaturanga , an ancient Indian strategy board game, is believed to have roots dating back 5000 years to the Indus Valley Civilization. The game's name, meaning "having four limbs or parts," is derived from the Indian epic *Mahabharata*, where it refers to four divisions of an army: elephantry, chariotry, cavalry, and infantry. Later “chaturanga” personal took it and named as Sjataranj and then to medieval Europe , now evolved into modern Chess.

    I am a Sanskrit scholar from East Asia. It is wrong to say early Sanskrit work was only religious. Astounding works exist in literature, philosophy and sciences. Some of them may look religious but encoded in them we have the decimal number system and Hindu numerals (0,1,2,3...), so called phythogorean theorem, almost all "fables of Aoesep", a lot on astronomy, and of course you have systems like Yoga, Ayurveda, Pranayama which have now found a resurgence in use after scientific validation. In fact, Samkhya philosophy which predates, Boudha, Yoga, etc talks about the universe made of atoms and even the force of gravity - perhaps the first ever in the world. Please look up Kapila's works.

    I think the game of go was popular with ancient kings and governments because it allowed them to rank people based on their intelligence. If you are a great Go player, you probably have a superior IQ, strong observational skills, and an ability to apply logic to solve problems under pressure. That set of skills could be very valuable to leadership in any age. In the ancient world, many people would rise to powerful positions due to their personal connections. In the game of Go, family and personal political connections mean nothing. If you are good, you are good ; it will be obvious. You will wipe the floor with the stupid entitled people who got their jobs through nepotism and aristocracy and you will rise on your merits. If the king needed a large group of really smart people for critical jobs, he could recruit from the best Go players and be assured that he had found some really clear thinking and powerful minds. Intelligence , like lightning, seems to strike the earth at random. The ability to find the best minds in your country if they weren't born to high houses could be the difference between victory and defeat. BTW... to be really good at Go, you have to adapt your strategy constantly. If your opponent is taking big steps, you should too. If they go for aggressive corners, you should build conservative ones and then attack their weak corners. Corners, sides, and then the center. If they play 4,4, I play 4,3 and attack without mercy. Once you have your territory secured, think about frustrating your opponent's ambitions. Attack, block (frustrate), or defend. When you have a strategy, be prepared to change it in an instant. A great game for life.

    Dear presenter, I'm thankful for the video. As a scholar, I feel the need to point out some mistakes: the connection of the Polis with ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians is purely fictional and is not supported by archaeological or bibliographic data. Also the idea that the Ludus Latrunculorum and its terminology overlapped with Chess is mistaken: when chess was introduced in Europe, Latruncoli were already in disuse for more than a half millennium. The most important aspect that need to be fixed, is that in both Petteia and Latruncoli, there was no special piece: any ancient source mention it, and any archaeological finding report the presence of a special piece that could be considered as a 'king' or a 'dux'. About the Ludus Latrunculorum, the most exhaustive and accurate scholarly production is the one of Ulrich Schädler. Most of the others are inaccurate or speculative. All the scholars who study ancient board games gather once a year at the Board Game Studies Colloquium. I warmly encourage you to join this meeting if you want to get in touch with the specialist in this field. Sincerely, Marco Tibaldini

    I love the connection to the past, & how people so long ago were not that much different than us today, just with different accesses & knowledge of the resources around them. The only thing that has bothered me is that, for the recreated game, the rosettes mean something, but the other unique designs seemingly do not. Mechanically speaking, it does make sense, because having each square mean something would complicate the game too much. However, no one addresses whether they did mean something, so I remain curious. I don't know if the tablet dives into that, or if an academic article tries to addresses it, but it would be neat to discover why those design choices were made at the time.

      i still don't know how to play mahjong but koi koi takes just a couple games looking at a sheet of the different hands and then you got it, it's so much simpler than it seems at first. i think learning in a game is probably easier than learning w physical cards, there are a couple of mobile apps, clubhouse games on the switch, or if you really wanna have fun get one of the yakuza/judgment games. you'll have it down in no time at all
