Ouch! Not only did the Queen take the King, she did it with ease. Just walked in from the kitchen. No studying the board. No thinking about her move. Just BOOM! Checkmate! Your done!
The original chess pieces, called chaturanga, were invented in India in the 6th century CE. The pieces represented military units from that time, including:Raja: KingMantri: MinisterGajah: War elephantAshva: HorseRatha: ChariotPadati: FootsoldierThe role of Mantri changed in European versions of the game when Eleanor of Aquitaine and Isabella I of Espana showed the power the queen possessed.

Perhaps if he did the vacuuming it would ease his mind up a bit, and the best move will just come to him, lol.

I think you’re outclassed, Mr. Dear. Set up the board and try again.
