Sobre IBD

Scholars did not consider it necessary to grant Spain the honour of being the creative country of the game of draughts and of the new modality in the chess game with the new dama. Both the alquerque-3 as the alquerque-9 gameswere known in Roman times. Completely different is thesituation for the alquerque-12 game. It is said thatthe alquerque has its origin in Egypt. Perhaps this is thecase for the alquerque-3 and alquerque-9 games, butnever for alquerque-12 game. Some authors claim thatthe alquerque-12 game is a Greek or Roman game, butthe great expert of these games, Dr. Ulrich Schädler,discards it. This book is the first proof that the alquerque-12 game was not popular at all in France, but much more in Spain, where the new chess game and draughts game were invented.
