An Ancient Tale of Chess

Having been scrolling through my stack of ancient manuscripts, I discovered a sequel to the story of Dilaram, one of the wives of the Persian prince with a penchant for gambling away his possessions on games of shatranj.

Shatranj is an ancient chess variant, popular over a thousand years ago.

This is the story of "Dilaram's Legacy".

The Red Prince's army has been devastated by an epidemic, and so he approaches the Blue Prince in order to beg for clemency. However, he didn't bargain on the ill temperament of his counterpart.

In case you missed them, here are some of my previous shatranj videos...
