Protect your King....the game of chess

Acrylic on canvas,27.55" * 34.25"

I am sure many of you are  familiar with the game of chess.

Did you know that chess was originated in India.

It was called CHATURANGA.

Chatur meaning four and anga meaning parts.The

game was in fact a battleplan drawn on a smaller

scale to find out ways and means of outsmarting

the enemy. The king is the most important piece.

Although he has limited mobility,if your king is

captured  you loose the game.An empire is defeated

when the emperor is captured.Therefore the king

has to be protected or you loose the game.
