The Classified Encyclopedia of Chess Variants
THE CLASSIFIED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHESS VARIANTS I once read a story about the discovery of a strange tribe somewhere in the Amazon basin. An eminent anthropologist recalls that there was some evidence that a space ship from Mars had landed in the area a millenium or two earlier. ‘Good heavens,’ exclaims the narrator, are you suggesting that this tribe are the descendants of Martians?’ ‘Certainly not,’ snaps the learned man, ‘they are the original Earth-people — it is we who are the Martians.’ Reflect that chess is but an imperfect variant of a game that was itself a variant of a germinal game whose origins lie somewhere in the darkness of time.

Introduction in the Year 1840, Our Continent, in Terms of Chess, Was A
Introduction In the year 1840, our continent, in terms of chess, was a wasteland. Certainly there were important chess masters and self-sacrificing chess devotees at that time, but their intentions and yearnings had no possibility of being realized. The intellectual seeds that were to be sown remained in a latent state. It was reserved for a later time to bring them to flower and ripeness. The muzzling of the various chess clubs and of the press made the exchange of ideas for the most part impossible. The exorbitant postage fees at that time made the sending of letters a privilege of the rich. The book trade—today a world-transforming power—was still in its infancy. The publication of books was therefore a very risky venture for the publisher and for the author a hardly sensible enterprise. Consequently, new ideas could find only a limited distribution. The result was the complete stagnation of intellectual life in all fields. The launching of a chess column in the Leipzig Illustrirten Zeitung (1846), and, in a few years, the founding of the Deutsche Schachzeitung , signified the beginning of a new era in the art of chess. It was an occasion to rejoice (a fact that probably can no longer be appreciated by today’s generation) when the Austrian censor board graciously permitted their beloved “subjects,” who up to that time had been limited to the meager diet of the official Wiener Zeitung , the additional reading matter in the Leipzig Illustrirten. This paper and the Deutsche Schachzeitung were the centers around which the scattered atoms of the chess world became crystallized. -
