The history of chess can be traced back nearly 1500 years, although the earliest origins are uncertain. The earliest predecessor of the game probably originated in India, before the 6th century AD; a minority of historians believe the game originated in China. From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the 15th century.

The Chess flower - one of my springtime favourites. Meanwhile rare in the nature we could find her close to ponds on meadows. This beauty I photographed at an old Arboretum.

The first image that I upload this year 2025, is of a game of chess, a game as old as known, which has its origins in India, although modern chess, as we know it today, has more than five hundred years, the first game of modern chess, was played in Spain in the year 1475, besides being an ancient game and good for exercising our brain, is played by many people from different countries of the world. The black and white pieces face each other in another game, who do you think will win the game?
La primera imagen que subo este año 2025, es de una partida de ajedrez, un juego tan antiguo como conocido, que tiene sus orígenes en la India, aunque el ajedrez moderno, tal y como lo conocemos hoy en día, tiene más de quinientos años, la primera partida de ajedrez moderno, se jugó en España en el año 1475, además de ser un juego antiguo y bueno para ejercitar nuestro cerebro, es jugado por muchas personas de diferentes países del mundo. Las piezas blancas y negras se enfrentan en otra partida, ¿Quién crees que ganará la partida?

I've always been amused by the painting series Dogs Playing Poker, by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. The series of sixteen oil paintings and a 1910 painting were commissioned by Brown & Bigelow to advertise cigars. Having had cats for most of my life I knew cats would never stoop to playing poker but know they much prefer playing chess.
Combine that with my inevitable attraction to the emerging world of AI "art" and you end up with this image which is a creation using Bing AI Image Creator with a bit of Photoshop magic thrown in.

With a typical lashup of 3 GP40's, a Chessie System rolls west past the tower at Nova on the former B&O. One of my favorite haunts in the late 80's was to chase back and forth on the B&O between Lodi and Willard on one of the first warmer days in the springtime. The Indian's spring training games would be on the radio and there would be solid sets of Chessie geeps. The Indians weren't yet any good and hadn't been for a long time but in the spring there's always hope and every new kid is going to be a star.
