anyone got any good literature on how to learn this game? been meaning to look for a minute. i know the basics, i need to learn strategy
Didn't know they had a rule about which pieces move first. Who gives a damn? Change the colors to blue and red so nobody will get offended. Unless it's a blood or crip playing. 
Getting offended over a damn chess piece?

Magnus is a damn savant. When he was playing half a dozen people at one time while never looking at the board once.

play
Rook - only move straight any number of spaces
It’s basically a war game
Pawns - move forward only one space and optionally if you move a pawn as your first play it can move two
Bishop- move only diagonally on the same color
Knight-moves in an L shape
King- moves any direction one space at a time
Queen - any direction as many spaces as needed
Objective of the game - capture the king while protecting your king
You can’t eat men like in checkers
You just attack ie remove it from

And this is based on what exactly
The immediate precursor to chess was a game played in India.
What you might be thinking about was a game called Senat but Senat isn't chess. The pieces don't even have the same movement structure. For instance
- in chess each unique piece has a standard moveset. in Senat all peices move the same.
- In chess each square is neutral, in Senat certain squares have unique properties denoted by the symbols in them.
- Most significantly movement in Senat is controlled by "dice"(sticks) throws to determine how far a piece can move ...and all pieces move in the same order on a track with the only distinction being the number of steps the piece moves forward.
Now if you said board games as a general term was started in ancient Egypt then I'd more likely rock witcha....
