Chess And Politics
Chess is a popular game which was invented in India many centuries ago. This game arrived to Europe in the Medieval Ages and it was spread by the Muslims. From that time, it has been known as the game of armies. In fact, many politicians and military figures had been great chess players, for example Carlomagno or Napoleon. Why did those people had so much interest in Chess? Perhaps because, this is a game of strategy, concentration and wisdom. These are some of the best skills for a military or politicians in every any time.
I am a chess player and a person interested in the history of this game and it's evolution in the time. However, there is an important aspect that has suprised me: Throughout History the countries that have dominated the world, also have been the best players. The muslims, the Spaniards, the Frenchmen, or most recently the Americans and the Soviets have dominated this game when they controlled the world. Is it a coincidence casuality? Is there any relationship between power and chess? I would will not answer this question because I am not sure about the answer myself. ( Or you could say: I do not know the answer myself)
In the future I suppose that the best player will be Chinese...If the tendency continues ( you have to finish the sentence- what tendecy? it should be written like this: If the tendency of world domination and great chess contintue)
