Coles 035 The History of Alquerque-12. Spain and France.: Volume I. at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The first Spanish books about the game of draughts
have a very high level and date from the XVI
century, while the first French book comes from
the XVII century and the game described is a
very elemental one. Contrary to this evidence, the
scholars did not consider it necessary to grant
Spain the honour of being the creative country of
the game of draughts and of the new modality in the
chess game with the new dama. Both the alquerque-3
as the alquerque-9 games were known in Roman
times. Completely different is the situation for the
game alquerque-12 game. It is said that the alquerque
has its origin in Egypt. Perhaps this is the case for the
alquerque-3 and alquerque-9 games, but never for
alquerque-12 game. Some authors claim that the
alquerque-12 game is a Greek or Roman game, but the
great expert of these games, Dr. Ulrich Schädler,
discards it. This book is the first proof that the
alquerque-12 game was not popular at all in France,
but much more in Spain, where the new chess game
and draughts game were invented.
