The Story
In the distant past, warring rulers agreed to settle a fierce and enduring dispute with a single game of chess.
So a time traveller from the future audienced with one of them, offering this magical chess set to master the game, and so be assured of victory.
In exchange, the traveller received half the king’s possessions, burying them to retrieve in the current day to live quietly and happily.
